Although the convention of where to put conventions remains somewhat
contentious, the team's desired conventions for Desktop Improvments have
so far been, for the most part, general and could be useful for any
project our team owns (e.g. MobileFrontend, Minerva, etc).
Therefore, I added/made revisions to the
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Coding_conventions wiki page
as this seems the be the single source of truth of our team specific
conventions that span across repos.
This commit just links to these changes which follows the same pattern
as Minerva and MobileFrontend.
Additional Changes:
* Added installation section similar to Minerva Skin

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)

- Update package.json with the new dependencies.
- A script storybook.sh pulls down CSS and LESS imports from external
dependencies. This copies the approach taken in Popups and MobileFrontend.
- Icons from external repos are maintained within the repo in SVG-only form.
Using load.php modules is also possible, but will pull down other unnecessary icons
and break if any of these modules are changed. Decided that we should manually maintain
these for the time being given there are only 3 icons.
- Several LESS files now import the variables file. I think it's useful for stories
to only import the CSS they use as this encourages us to modularise our CSS. Before these
imports were not necessary as they inherit imports from index.less. This will have no impact
on the bundle size as the LESS compiler silently discards duplicate imports
- stories/utils.js provides a useful placeholder function for generalising our hook entry
points.

A resources folder is the defacto-standard across mediawiki repos.
Vector now mirrors those by describing where files served by ResourceLoader
are located.

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.

Since only one hook is specified for the BeforePageDisplayMobile hook,
replace the array of hooks with the single hook used.

This will allow us to render in Storybook without having issues
with unclosed tags. it also mirrors how html-headelement works
(obscuring the opening of the body and html tags)

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.

Extracts a new VectorMenu mustache component from VectorTemplate.
VectorMenu is the "more" menu that appears at small widths instead of the
Read/Edit/View History menu near the top of the Vector skin.

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().

Tthe SkinVector::steupSkinUserCss is deprecated and
we should use the ::getDefaultModules instead.

PersonalMenu is the login/logout notifications etc. menu at the very
top of the Vector skin.
