FeatureManager::registerRequirement established the interface for a
requirement: its name and whether it's met.
However, the Feature Manager also needs to handle scenarios where a
requirement needs additional context before it can be considered met.
That context may not be available when the application is booting, e.g.
checking if the user is logged in; or the logic is complicated enough
that it should be under test.
Changes:
- Add the Requirement interface and update FeatureManager to work with
implementations of it
- Maintain B/C by constructing an instance of a the SimpleRequirement
DTO

I735fd640 bumped the required MediaWiki version to 1.31. That version
dropped support for PHP 5.x.
Wherever possible, update FeatureManager's methods to use PHP 7.0.x's
scalar and return type declarations.

As was noted in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T244481#5859513, the
term "set" doesn't seem natural. Piotr Miazga (polishdeveloper, pmiazga)
and Nicholas Ray (nray) suggested a number of good replacements,
including "requirement." Serendipitously, this term is already used in
FeatureManager's documentation.

With complex additions to Vector's codebase like the Desktop Improvement
Program upcoming, it's important that we have a shared, intuitive
language to talk about features and their requirements. Centralising
the registration of features and creating an API satisfies does exactly
this.
This change introduces a greatly-reduced version of Piotr Miazga's
(polishdeveloper, pmiazga) original proposed API and associated
scaffolding classes for feature management in Vector, which itself was
based upon his work in MobileFrontend/MinervaNeue. This is done to
establish a foundation upon which we can build the more sophisticated
parts of Piotr's proposal in a piecemeal basis, thereby minimising risk.
Distinct from Piotr's proposed API is the ability to register sets and
features that are always enabled or disabled.
Additionally:
- A Vector.FeatureManager service is registered but not used
- A list of proposed immediate next steps is included
