Nicholas Ray 53f49c5c64 Rename wgVectorUseCoreSearch to wgVectorUseWvuiSearch
This allows better compatibility with FeatureManager (e.g. can use
requirements such as REQUIREMENT_LATEST_SKIN_VERSION). It will become
especially useful in I70277c1082a504fbd5f6023e9873e8071de7e35d and when
A/B testing search.

jdlrobson dce24c9784 Development: Allow us to test search with different API hosts
By default the API uses location.host as the host, however during
development it is useful to test against production wikis

For example to test against English Wikipedia:
$wgVectorSearchHost = 'en.wikipedia.org';

Note: Links when clicked will not take the user to the target page, and
instead will take the user to the search results page with a link to
create the page.

The following config can be used to workaround that page:
$wgDisableTextSearch = true;
$wgSearchForwardUrl = "/w/index.php?title=$1";

Jan Drewniak bd83398659 Integrate WVUI search into Vector
Creates a new skins.vector.search module that
replaces the searchSuggest module from MediaWiki core.

This module creates a new Vue app using the WVUI
search widget for the new search experience.

The legacy search input form is still retains on pageload,
and the new search kicks on search input focus.

In order to manage that transition, the legacy search
input is styled to resemble the new WVUI input, and the
new input is manually focused after the component mounts.

Vue is also added as a dev-dependency to help with
type-checking.

Other changes:
* the entry in skin.json is reordered alphabetically after
skins.vector.js

Nicholas Ray 8cf278d305 Add client-side performance metrics for searchLoader
As part of comparing Vue search with legacy search, we need to track how
long it takes to lazy load the wvui library. A similar metric was added
to measuring the mediawiki.searchSuggest module in
I0fa6b8904bd43c87a68e9161f00d686a0e588966.

This commit adds the following metrics which will only be used in our
synthetic tests. We are not doing RUM tests at this time.

To test locally, add the following to your LocalSettings.php and append
the query param `useskinversion=2` e.g.
(http://localhost:8181/wiki/Test?useskinversion=2):

```
$wgVectorUseCoreSearch = false;
```

Marks:

* mwVectorVueSearchLoadStart: Marks the start of loading the search
module.

* mwVectorVueSearchLoadEnd: Marks the end of loading the search
module.

Measures:

* mwVectorVueSearchLoadStartToLoadEnd: Measures the time it takes to
load the search module.

Jan Drewniak 1dad545f63 Adds loading indicator for new search module
Provides a loading indicator to show while the new Vue.js based
search widget loads. Given that the new widget will pull down the
entire Vue.js runtime, it's likely that there will be a delay
before the search suggestions appear. This loader is meant to
improve the perceived loading experience of the new widget.

Adds:
- New searchLoader.js file containing loading behaviour.
  - This overrides the code searchSuggest loading behaviour.
- New SearchBoxLoader.less file containing the loader styles.
- i18n message: 'vector-search-loader'.
- The Event type to jsdoc.json
