Move all the sidebar generation logic into a new VectorTemplate
function.
The name mirrors the function name in SkinVector. In future,
( I7a14f74728703c50874935e9d77b35ad9434b436)
we will move this code into SkinVector where it will be able
to call parent::buildSidebar()

Going into the new version of Vector, we'll want to rewrite the layout
rules entirely and decouple the sidebar from the logo.
To prepare for this we will move the layout file into a legacy folder.
We also separate Sidebar styles needed for the legacy mode from the old mode.
This will allow us to make changes to the header in new Vector without having to touch
or test the legacy codebase via a new file layout.less and using the existing sidebar
code.

In new Vector, the logo will no longer be present, so we need a more
future proof way of determining what the first portal is.
A new class `portal-first` is added (no decision about adopting BEM
has been made yet).
Cached pages will continue to use the old selector for now.

VectorTemplate has various functions that repeat themselves, only
differing in their choice of names.
This refactor begins by focusing on the personal menu and introducing
a generic getMenuData function. Hardcoded `p-personal` is replaced with
an `id` template key and `msg-label` is renamed `label`.
Future patches will simplify VectorTemplate by using this new
function.
You'll note the resulting PersonalMenu.mustache file is identical
to VectorTabs. These will be merged in I098e6921e8f7ef65dacacf09b9c25f70c945e58e

The new template 'index.mustache' drops the Navigation
template partial (component) - instead embedding it in
the master template given its lack of usability.
Note to reviewer: Please ensure index.mustache and
legacy.mustache are identical.
Change-Id: I580fe55ca6aeb35dae8afee41e87172a5a729c7b
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.

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.

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

For better encapsulation and future possibility to create Skin API
we have to stop accesing properties and start using getters/setters
instead. Once we start doing that we should be able to provide a
clear interface for our templating system.

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

The renderNavigation function provides an unnecessary level of
abstraction which I'd argue hurts readability of these functions.

Vector provides two vector specific hooks:
- VectorAfterToolbox
- VectorBeforeToolbox
Instead of supporting Vector specific stuff we should aim
for a nice global skin api and allow other 3rd party to
extend MediaWiki functionality no matter which skin is currently
on.

A Portal (or portlet) in the Vector context is a section of the
sidebar menu (e.g. Tools, Languges etc.).
The hook that places content between the portals (or portlets?)
such as `SkinTemplateToolboxEnd` and `otherlanguages` has been
enclosed inside of an output buffer so that any content it
produces can be passed to a template.

For consistency with VectorTabs, rename SearchComponent to only imply

just "Search") for grepability and standard component style conventions.

Extract SearchComponent.mustache from VectorTemplate. The "search"
message is now escaped by the template parser. As is, htmlspecialchars()
for "wgScript".
A later patch will change each component renderer function as well as
renderNavigation() to return a string.

Cut up renderNavigation() into several discrete methods. Smaller methods
are easier to read and reason about.

Regression from 74b9803d9a, caused by a bug in LightNCandy which
caused {{foo}} to render "0", and {{#foo}} to pass as true with "0", but then
in {{#foo}}<b>{{foo}}</b>{{/foo} render as empty string producing "<b></b>".
In other words, the conditional is passing and the inner block is executed,
but the placeholder is mistakenly converting "0" => null => "" (empty string),
causing the <h1> to render but without any text in it.
Work around this bug by simply removing the conditional. Several other skins
already don't have this conditional and it's unclear why or in what
situation MediaWiki would send OutputPage to SkinTemplate without a title.
I think it would make sense in such rare case to still have a consistent
layout for extensions and gadgets to interact with and not omit the H1
element, but render it with the value that OutputPage gave it, even if it
is the empty string.
