Baha 413870d350 Add print logo
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']
];

Configuration options

Logo used in print styles. Keys are url, width, and height (in pixels). Note that this solution only works correctly if the image pointed to by url is an SVG that does not specify width and height attributes, or its width and height match the corresponding variables below. Alternatively, a PNG or other type of image can be used, but its dimensions also need to match the corresponding variable below. That in turn may result in blurry images, though.

Example configuration:

$wgVectorPrintLogo = [
	'url' => 'https://en.wikipedia.org/static/images/mobile/copyright/wikipedia-wordmark-en.svg',
	'width' => 174,
	'height' => 27
];
