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. Bug: T244481 Change-Id: I52d80942b4270c008d4e45050589ed9220255a50

URL query parameters
useskinversion: Likeuseskinbut for overriding the Vector skin version user preference and configuration. E.g., http://localhost:8181?useskin=vector&useskinversion=2.
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.
