Going into the header work, we'll need this variable available so
that we can align the header with the personal tools menu.
Per Volker's request we change the value to `px` from `em`s.
Previously it was 5.28333px. It will now be 6px.

Instead, for the subset of Grade C browsers without SVG support (currently
IE8), we remove the icon and display the label text instead –
in a hacky, but acceptable way.

Move all the LESS `z-index` settings to variables.less so it's easy to
conceptualize how UI will be layered. jQuery CSS rules are untouched but
documented.
Also, remove the seemingly redundant re-setting of the `mw-searchButton`
`z-index`:
#mw-searchButton
z-index: 1;
}
This rule was added in 0c77e4f.
The sidebar work will require `z-index` properties and this refactor
eases the comprehension of those changes, as well as prevents the
accrual of more `z-index` technical debt.

It is not the most useful of components and adds an additional layer
of complexity similar to multiple inheritance chains that we find in
Object oriented programming.
I suggest we use index.mustache going forward for laying out the different
components and use components/template partials for reusable components.

IE 9-11 cuts values 2 digits after the decimal point leading
to small miscalculations throughout the interface derived from `.mw-body-content`'s `em` value.
With `calc` it's forced to use same parent value for its
rendering calculations.

This commit is singularly focused on adding a link to the sidebar for
Vector, logged-in users. It does the bare minimum to fulfill the
requirements of T243281.
Additionally, it will help to answer the question "Do we need to use
abstractions (other than maybe different templates) to separate Legacy
Vector from Vector" by intentionally leaving out any abstractions in
order to make it easier to compare with a follow-up patch
(Ib2ef15180df73360cc1de25b893e49d415d23e1a) which does use abstractions.
It is a good thing to question whether or not we need addtional
abstractions in VectorTemplate and if they will help us as unnecessary
abstractions can have the opposite effect and just lead to further
frustrations down the road.
Therefore, I urge you, the reviewer, to let me know your thoughts! If
abstractions are viewed as not making our lives any easier, the
follow-up patches may be completely discarded and that's totally okay
with me. :) I think it's a good think to talk about now though.
Important changes:
* The VectorTemplate constructor was changed to allow injecting the
config, templateParser, and isLegacy boolean (only the config was
allowed before this commit). According to MediaWiki's Stable Interface
Policy, "Constructor signatures are generally considered unstable unless
explicitly declared stable for calling" [3]. Given that VecorTemplate's
constructor is not marked as stable, it is justified to do this without
warning according to the policy.
* Due to the above, the 'setTemplate' method is no longer needed and was
marked as deprecated.
* VectorTemplateTest was made to adapt to the new VectorTemplate
constructor. Additionally, it now extends from
MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase which my intelliphense server can pick up.
I *think* MediaWikiTestCase is just an alias to
MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase [1] and MediaWikiTestCase file was renamed
to MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase in [2], but I'm willing to change it
back if there is pushback to this.
Open questions:
* What are VectorTemplate's responsibilities? To me, it acts right now
as a controller (because it echos the full HTML string from the
template), a model (because SkinTemplate::prepareQuickTemplate sets data
on it which it later retrieves through `$this->get()`), a presenter
(because it adds data tailored for a web-centric view), and a view
(because it renders HTML strings instead of letting the view/template be
solely responsible for that). Arguably, some business logic might be
mixed in there as well (because it checks to see if a User is logged
in/has necessary permissions to show x which my changes here add to).
This might not be a problem if we keep VectorTemplate relatively small,
but will it remain this way as we progress further in Desktop
Improvements?
* How do we write tests for VectorTemplate without exposing unnecessary
public methods? For example, if I want to test the `getSkinData()`
method to see what state will be sent to the template, how should I do
this? One option might be to use `TestingAccessWrapper` to expose these
private methods which is what
`VectorTemplateTest::testbuildViewsProps()` does. Another option is to
accept this method as public. Is there a better way? Keep in mind that
even with access to this method, there might be many things to mock.

To have a clean break for upcoming changes we will duplicate
index.less into legacy.less and create a new module to clearly
separate new styles from old.
The preferred name however does come with some caching challenges.
Cached HTML served to anons will continue to load the style module
`skins.vector.styles` for a period of 1-4 weeks
Provided we are careful with our changes during this period this
should be okay.

Move print LESS variables within the print media query. When these
styles were collapsed into an index.less import via ac069fb, they lost
their outer print media query which caused them to override screen
styles.

Move styles.less to index.less and import print.less from it. This keeps
the reasoning about styles constrained to LESS instead of spread out
over LESS _and_ ResourceLoader. The former is preferable since LESS is
more standardized than ResourceLoader.
The approach of moving styles.less to index.less and then referencing
print.less was chosen with the intent that it'd be easier to assume
styles are screen styles unless a media query says otherwise.
This patch also makes the variables import common among print and screen
styles.

Prior to this patch, Vector used a mixture of LESS media queries and
ResourceLoader (RL) media queries[0]. So far as I can tell[1], the
latter only instructs RL to wrap the contents of a LESS file within a
query (there are no conditionals placed on style loading). Further,
according to a coauthor of RL (Roan), RL media query support was most
likely a replacement for `@media foo { @import foo.css }` to inline
print styles from a separate style sheet which Vector itself does not
use. The LESS solution is much more intuitive since it's not MediaWiki-
specific and only the LESS code needs to be considered instead of LESS
_and_ the RL configuration in skin.json.
This patch moves both screen media queries to screen.less for the
aforementioned consistency and to avoid nesting queries. It is hoped
that these changes will help make future work easier, such as those to
margin likely to take place in making the sidebar collapsible.

This will help with the encapsulation/reusability of each component.
* Stylesheets were renamed to reflect their respective component name
(e.g. search.less became SearchBox.less)
* Styles were isolated to each component:
* navigation.less now only contains classes that are relevant to
Navigation.mustache.
* personalNavigation.less, search.less, and tabs.less
imports were removed and made first-class styles.
* several selectors were moved into common.less
* #p-logo was moved into sidebar
* tabs.less was renamed to VectorTabs.less and styles specific to
VectorMenu.less were put into VectorMenu.less
* Storybook was updated to reflect changes

Thanks to the dependent change, the print logo is now provided
in core so we can remove the custom Vector ResourceLoader module
ResourceLoaderLessModule is replaced with a ResourceLoaderSkinModule
and gains the features capability replacing the need for
'mediawiki.skinning.interface' making use of the changes added in
6845912bcf1.
Note that for cached HTML both 'mediawiki.skinning.interface'
and skins.vector.styles will be loaded. We can avoid this
by renaming skins.vector.styles if necessary (but I'm not
sure if we'd want to do that)

- Update package.json with the new dependencies.
- A script storybook.sh pulls down CSS and LESS imports from external
dependencies. This copies the approach taken in Popups and MobileFrontend.
- Icons from external repos are maintained within the repo in SVG-only form.
Using load.php modules is also possible, but will pull down other unnecessary icons
and break if any of these modules are changed. Decided that we should manually maintain
these for the time being given there are only 3 icons.
- Several LESS files now import the variables file. I think it's useful for stories
to only import the CSS they use as this encourages us to modularise our CSS. Before these
imports were not necessary as they inherit imports from index.less. This will have no impact
on the bundle size as the LESS compiler silently discards duplicate imports
- stories/utils.js provides a useful placeholder function for generalising our hook entry
points.
