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.

Following up I6bc4cf541eefd00e2e42 we also need to remove the
linear-gradient hack that only made sense in combination with the
now gone PNG fallback background-image.

The calculations were a little incorrect as I failed to consider the
sidebar button correctly and how the search's min width and max width
impact layout.
I also move rules from Sidebar.less regarding the placement of the button
into layout where I believe they belong. We do not have a header component, so the
positioning (margin) of the sidebar button in current form should be here.
This can be revisited if we introduce a header component.

* Remove the PNG fallbacks for chevronHorizontal-….svg and menu.svg.
As of T248061, these are no longer needed.
* Added the one line of trivial CSS directly to skins.vector.styles
instead of through its own module.
This helps recovers the module cost of vue module deployed this
week (from Ib6c8f890fb3d6e7), which is currently empty and unused.
With T253582, we'll be able to recover a lot more budget in
this area.

This patch closely follows the desired guidelines/desired
styles Alex Hollender has put forth in his prototype, but uses
multiple containers to achieve this look since our DOM order/structure
is different than the DOM structure in the prototype. The following
containers are used, but unlike his prototype, they are sometimes used
more than once:
* Page Container: Contains every other container and limits the overall
max-width of the white part of the page.
* Workspace Container: Contains the sidebar and content container. The
sidebar is displaced ~30 pixels to the start (left) of the workspace
container at all times.
* Content Container: Contains the content. The max-width of this changes
depending on whether you are on a special page/history page vs. other
pages.
* Article Toolbar Container: Contains the article toolbar. The max-width
of this is always the same as the max-width of the article content as we
don't want the toolbar to move when going from the article page to the
history/special page.
Changes to be aware:
* To test locally, `$wgVectorLayoutMaxWidth = true;`. This design is
temporarily feature flagged and defaults to being "off".
* Note that layout-max-width.less is a temporary file made to meet the
feature flag requirement of T246420 (intended to derisk the deployment).
After the deploy, we should merge most if not all of the rules into
layout.less where the max-width design will become the default.
* Per Jon's code review comment, I have relaxed the indenting of
skin.mustache to make the diff easier to reason about. If desired, the
correct indenting can be achieved in a (much less risky) follow-up
commit.

* Moves the sidebar into the header so that user can tab directly from
the sidebar button into the sidebar (when open).
* Because the sidebar is absolutely positioned inside the header and the
header applies a top-margin, we need to adjust the top position
calculation for the sidebar.
* Removes the checkbox from the accessibility tree through CSS `display:
none;` instead of HTML attributes.
* Given that the checkbox is not able to receive focus, the
`#mw-sidebar-checkbox:focus ~ .mw-header .mw-checkbox-hack-button` CSS
rule is obsolete and moved instead to the label button. An additional
outline: 0 rule was added to remove the dotted outline that Firefox
applies.
* Makes the "Skip to navigation" jump link point to the sidebar now.
After the sidebar has been tabbed through, the rest of the navigation
can be tabbed to.

There's a longstanding Chrome bug that causes CSS transitions to show in
their terminal states. This patch works around the issue by limiting
transitions to JavaScript users only via the `client-js` class which is
added to the root `html` Node some time after page content loads. The
effect is a better overall experience for everyone but transitions
unfortunately no longer appear for no-JS devices.
I am unable to reproduce this issue in Vector's configuration. This
patch should only be merged as a last resort.

It's advisable to rely on default icon color and set it's color
by opacity. With that we've got a better playing field to respond
to user interaction with icon color changes, not relying on
several icons at once for different states and also being
backwards-compatible for a variety of browsers.

Bug: T246419
The sidebar button's icon previously used pixel dimensions while the
button itself uses ems. This caused the button to scale with the user's
font such that the icon is distorted and unrecognizable.
This patch drops the vertical margin and sets the icon height to 100%.
The width is proportionally constrained so the effect is that the icon
may grow with the button but the margin stays consistently at 12px.
This approach deviates from other items in the header (globe,
notifications) and tab bar (watchstar, search icon), that were
historically implemented without the user text zoom capability in mind.

Add a menu button that toggles the panel's (also referred to as a
sidebar) collapse state. When the screen is wide enough, animate the
transition.
The menu icon from OOUI is copied into Vector to avoid two
ResourceLoaders modules (collapseHorizontal icon isn't ready for
inclusion in the OOUI icon pack and ResourceLoaderOOUIIconPackModule
doesn't support images).
Additional polish and collaboration is needed but this patch fulfills
the scope of its referenced task.

The opt in link is part of the sidebar in the current modern version
of vector. The legacy sidebar has been split out and frozen. For this
reason I think it makes sense to move the styles for the button into
the sidebar stylesheet.
The class name is renamed to reflect the hierarchy. We are not using
BEM but we are using hyphens to describe location so the newly proposed
names `mw-sidebar` and `mw-sidebar-action` seem more applicable than
the previous generic class names.
This doesn't impact caching given anonymous users cannot see the opt
in/out link.

Split out the sidebar in advance of significant Latest mode only
changes.
The Less split was made by adding a new Sidebar.less file that imports
the Legacy implementation.
The Mustache split was made by file copying the existing implementation
into a legacy/ subfolder. Both the Legacy and Latest implementations
were then stripped of templates not applicable to their modes.
These changes are aligned with the splits for JavaScript.

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.

This unblocks work on the header which will rewrite the layout

This corresponds to a 0.06kb increase in CSS size, which is zero

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.

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
