Nicholas Ray 78787d9665 Switch to navigation-first DOM order under $wgVectorIsSearchInHeader feature flag
This moves the header, navigation, sidebar, and article toolbar to be
before the content in the DOM. As a result, a lot of absolute
positioning logic can be removed and styles can be simplified.

Note that although the sidebar was moved from the header into the
workspace container allowing it to de-absolutely positioned, its
absolute positioning was kept intact as it has a fair amount of
complexity that should be handled in a separate task.

To activate, set  `$wgVectorIsSearchInHeader = true;`

Changes that could cause concern:

* The "jump to search" link was removed as the search is now much
earlier in the DOM and I questioned the value of keeping this. However,
it can be added back in if this change is contentious.

* A "jump to content" link was added to account for the new DOM order.

* Because the sidebar was taken out of the header, users will not be
able to tab from the sidebar button into the sidebar without additional
tweaking (e.g. should we add JS to enable this?). It was deemed that
this work can be saved as a follow-up task.

* I applied `overflow-y: auto` to the `mw-page-container` because the
header's top margin was collapsing and caused whitespace to appear
between the viewport and the header. Alternatively, we could apply a top
padding to the page container and remove the header's top margin. I went
for the simplest solution but am open to alternatives.

* I left the footer as-is in this patch to minimize risk. It might be
cleaner later on to move the footer inside the workspace container which
would leave only one workspace container.

jdlrobson 872519ab94 Drop the Navigation component
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.

Nicholas Ray 9964e56156 Mustache Documentation: Cleanup/Clarify Mustache template params
* Content.mustache doc param order was modified to follow the html structure
order (with html-dataAfterContent at bottom ). `html-userlangattributes`
was added to param documention since it was absent.

* Footer.mustache doc param order was modified to follow the html structure
order (with `html-userlangattributes` placed after `html-vector-before-footer`)

* Navigation.mustache was modified to remove `html-sidebar`,
`html-navigation-left-tabs` and `html-navigation-right-tabs` params from
doc since those are absent from Navigation.mustache.

* `data-namespace-tabs`, `data-variants`, `data-page-actions`,
`data-page-actions-more`, `data-search-box`, `data-sidebar` params were
added in Navigation.mustache documentation since those are present.

jdlrobson cdd5ebd74d Use template partials rather than HTML strings
CHANGES to  index.mustache:
Changes can be understood by looking at the diff of
the file stories/skin.stories.js

The additional changes in stories folder export the data passed to
those templates. A new file is used as exporting any variable in a
file suffixed stories.js will be assumed to be a story entry.

The changes to index.mustache are as follows:
* html-footer is replaced with data-footer and Footer
component is rendered via template partial
* html-navigation is replaced with data-navigation and
Navigation component is rendered via template partial

CHANGES to Navigation.mustache:
Changes are best explained by looking at the diff to
stories/navigation.stories.js
and navigation.stories.data.js
* html-personal-menu is replaced with data-personal-menu

jdlrobson 698752e38a [Dev] processTemplate used in one place
Moving all the templateParser calls to one function
so its easier to see how the template is composed.

The diff of changes to the stories folder highlight
the internal changes which are:

* html-portals replaced with html-sidebar in main template
* new Sidebar template added which outputs to html-sidebar
* Mention of "MainMenu" replaced with better understood "Sidebar"

This is precursory work to adopt templatePartials

jdlrobson ea2bcd44f2 Add storybook to Vector
- 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.
