Jan Drewniak df3954eff8 [IE9] Layout flex-box adjustments
Minor visual fix for IE9 for modern mode with search not in header.
i.e. with these settings:

    $wgVectorIsSearchInHeader = false;
    $wgVectorDefaultSkinVersion = 2;

Slight refactor of CSS. Removes block of styles that "reset" floats.
These were uneccessary because as flex-children, the floats were
ignored on those elements anyway.

Moves flex-wrap on .mw-header from layout-search-header.less
to layout-default.less since that's where display:flex is defined
and the rule is general enough that it should apply for different layouts.

Remove the @supports block with the `float:none;`. That is unnecessary
because flex-children are not affected by floats.

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 370add977c Allow personal tools to span 2 lines
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.

jdlrobson 53d9452795 Move the personal tools and search into header
To support roll out and avoid issues with cached HTML the new
styles for the new search feature are restricted to HTML where
the body tag has `skin-vector-search-header` class.

For legacy mode, we introduce a new class
`skin-vector-search-header-legacy` and temporarily use a CSS3 `:not()`
selector to ensure the styles ship during the phase where cached
HTML can be served. While this will create some display issues in
browsers that do not support CSS3 selectors, all grade A browsers in
our compatability matrix support this.

Keep variables concerned with layout in the master file but pull out
the default layout into a separate file.
