As described in the readme but not implemented until now, this patch
enables the skin version to be specified as a URL query parameter. This
is useful for testing both skin versions during development and on wiki,
as well as enabling sharing URLs with a specific skin (Vector) and skin
version (1 or 2).
Obtaining the actual skin version requires tying together three input
sources, WebRequest, User, and Config. It seems simple but it'd be easy
to botch. For this reason, a helper class to correctly interrogate them
and tests are provided.

To have a clean break for upcoming changes we will duplicate
index.less into legacy.less and create a new module to clearly
separate new styles from old.
The preferred name however does come with some caching challenges.
Cached HTML served to anons will continue to load the style module
`skins.vector.styles` for a period of 1-4 weeks
Provided we are careful with our changes during this period this
should be okay.

Instead of relying on Skin::getDefaultModules to get
`mediawiki.legacy.styles` make the legacy style feature an explicit
opt in choice by including it in the features list.
This is done on the assumption that Icb910a563273bde92a09b1bb92857d5b6e3
will shortly be merged to deprecate this module to avoid double loading
the styles.

Move styles.less to index.less and import print.less from it. This keeps
the reasoning about styles constrained to LESS instead of spread out
over LESS _and_ ResourceLoader. The former is preferable since LESS is
more standardized than ResourceLoader.
The approach of moving styles.less to index.less and then referencing
print.less was chosen with the intent that it'd be easier to assume
styles are screen styles unless a media query says otherwise.
This patch also makes the variables import common among print and screen
styles.

Prior to this patch, Vector used a mixture of LESS media queries and
ResourceLoader (RL) media queries[0]. So far as I can tell[1], the
latter only instructs RL to wrap the contents of a LESS file within a
query (there are no conditionals placed on style loading). Further,
according to a coauthor of RL (Roan), RL media query support was most
likely a replacement for `@media foo { @import foo.css }` to inline
print styles from a separate style sheet which Vector itself does not
use. The LESS solution is much more intuitive since it's not MediaWiki-
specific and only the LESS code needs to be considered instead of LESS
_and_ the RL configuration in skin.json.
This patch moves both screen media queries to screen.less for the
aforementioned consistency and to avoid nesting queries. It is hoped
that these changes will help make future work easier, such as those to
margin likely to take place in making the sidebar collapsible.

Add a Vector-specific user preference to Special:Preferences for
toggling skin version, either Legacy Vector or the latest Vector.
The presentation of the new preference section and the default values
for anonymous, new, and existing accounts are configurable via
$wgVectorShowSkinPreferences, $wgVectorDefaultSkinVersion (to be used by
the feature manager in T244481),
$wgVectorDefaultSkinVersionForExistingAccounts, and
$wgVectorDefaultSkinVersionForNewAccounts. These configurations default
to the fullest experience so that third-party configuration is minimal.
See skin.json for details. The configurations are each tested in
VectorHooksTest.php.
When presentation is enabled, the new preference appears as a checkbox;
enabled is Legacy mode and disable is latest. There are a number of
unfortunate details:
- Showing and hiding a checkbox is supported by OOUI. Showing and hiding
a whole section (Vector skin preferences, in this case) is not so this
additional client JavaScript functionality is added in Core (see
Iaf68b238a8ac7a4fb22b9ef5d6c5a3394ee2e377).
- Stylization as a checkbox is wanted. However, the implied storage type
for OOUI checkboxes is a boolean. This is not wanted in the event that
another skin version is added (e.g., '3' or 'alpha'). As a workaround,
the preference is converted from a boolean to a version string ('1' or
'2') on save in Hooks::onPreferencesFormPreSave() and from a version
string to a checkbox enable / disable string ('1' or '0') in
onGetPreferences(). There a number of test cases to help cover these
concerning details.
Documentation for overriding the skin version as a URL query parameter
is provided in anticipation of T244481.

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

Thanks to the dependent change, the print logo is now provided
in core so we can remove the custom Vector ResourceLoader module
ResourceLoaderLessModule is replaced with a ResourceLoaderSkinModule
and gains the features capability replacing the need for
'mediawiki.skinning.interface' making use of the changes added in
6845912bcf1.
Note that for cached HTML both 'mediawiki.skinning.interface'
and skins.vector.styles will be loaded. We can avoid this
by renaming skins.vector.styles if necessary (but I'm not
sure if we'd want to do that)

The SkinVector implements IContextSource, thus it has to provide
the getConfig() method. Vector skin is currently using
it's own `vectorConfig` in one place and it passes the VectorConfig
to the VectorTemplate class. Sadly the VectorConfig is the same
thing what $this->getConfig() provides. There is no need to make
this code more complex by handling two different config containers
which at the end are the same GlobalVarConfig instances.
If we decide to handle VectorConfigs differently, let's thing it
through, for now we should simplify code and remove all uncessary
logic. Thanks to that, there is also no need to override the
setupTemplate().

Logo cannot be displayed as a background image because it won't be
visible in print unless the user prints backgrounds too.
A sample configuration looks like this:
$wgVectorPrintLogo = [
'url' => 'https://en.wikipedia.org/static/images/mobile/copyright/wikipedia-wordmark-en.svg',
'width' => 174,
'height' => 27
];
The solution presented in the patch has a downside of not being able
to scale images down if their dimensions are bigger than the
dimensions specified in the config variable. For example, if we want
to go with an SVG image, then IE8 won't be able to render it.
Alternatively, if we want to go with a PNG image, its dimensions need
to match the exact dimensoins in the config variable, otherwise the
image will show up larger or smaller depending on its dimensions.
A more complicated approach of scaling images using `transform: scale`
hasn't been used because we wanted to keep the configuration simple
while supporting the majority of our users. With the current change,
we can reuse the existing configuration options from Minerva, for
exmaple. It would look something like this:
$wgVectorPrintLogo = [
'url' => $wgMFCustomLogos['copyright'],
'width' => $wgMFCustomLogos['copyright-width'],
'height' => $wgMFCustomLogos['copyright-height']
];

These are feature flagged to allow editors to test before making
them the default. A class is added to the body tag to allow us
to switch between old and new styles at a later date.
To start with we introduce some typography improvements.
Further iterations will focus on other elements.
Changes:
* headings were previously diluted in the body content and difficult to spot.
This evens out the spacing between last content and its own content block.
* clear ownership of <p>s with its heading
* We would like to match Latex style body typography with single column.
The new styles reduce the number of pages by around 20-25%
* hyperlink underline -
This is a community requested feature. We do not use color in print styles
because it's printer friendly. Because of this, it is not possible to indicate
blue links in articles. If a user wants to know if this article exists on wikipedia,
it's not possible given solution.
We would like to underline the <a> tags in print styles.
it's better for accessibility as well.

The Vector skin's responsive mode originally used 768px as a hardcoded
value for the media query set up in skin.json. I attempted to
switch to the @deviceWidthTablet global Less variable provided by
MediaWiki inside skin.json, but this would not work under any
circumstances. Evidently, ResourceLoader does not compile Less, so
it just ignores the media query if it contains a Less variable.
I was forced to leave the media query within skin.json blank
and hard-code it into responsive.less. When using the
@deviceWidthTablet variable inside responsive.less, it worked
fine. Obviously this is not ideal, as I am bypassing ResourceLoader,
but I have no other choice. See this comment (T124994#2864136) for
details.

The installer hardcodes and expects to find a "skin.vector.styles"
