Stephen Niedzielski cf17aee48b [build] Make the pre-commit hook optional
Add a new NPM script, `pre-commit`, which _conditionally_ invokes
`npm test`. Previously, the pre-commit hook was configured by default to
invoke `npm test`. Now it is configured explicitly to invoke the new
`pre-commit` script.

The rationale for this change is that some folks may prefer workflows
that defer all validation until CI. Supporting these workflows is a
small change, most of it documentation.

This change isn't necessary for T257647 but supports and seems like an
overall improvement to the repo regardless of whether code is built or
not.

Skin preferences

Vector defines skin-specific user preferences. These are exposed on Special:Preferences when the VectorShowSkinPreferences configuration is enabled. The user's preference state for skin preferences is used for skin previews and any other operation unless specified otherwise.

Version

Vector defines a "version" preference to enable users who prefer the December 2019 version of Vector to continue to do so without any visible changes. This version is called "Legacy Vector." The related preference defaults are configurable via the configurations prefixed with VectorDefaultSkinVersion. Version preference and configuration may be overridden by the useskinversion URL query parameter.

Pre-commit tests

A pre-commit hook is installed when executing npm install. By default, it runs npm test which is useful for automatically validating everything that can be in a reasonable amount of time. If you wish to defer these tests to be executed by continuous integration only, set the PRE_COMMIT environment variable to 0:

$ export PRE_COMMIT=0
$ git commit

Or more succinctly:

$ PRE_COMMIT=0 git commit

Skipping the pre-commit tests has no impact on Gerrit change identifier hooks.
