Split out the sidebar in advance of significant Latest mode only
changes.
The Less split was made by adding a new Sidebar.less file that imports
the Legacy implementation.
The Mustache split was made by file copying the existing implementation
into a legacy/ subfolder. Both the Legacy and Latest implementations
were then stripped of templates not applicable to their modes.
These changes are aligned with the splits for JavaScript.

To complete the refactor, the Portal is also refactored
as a Menu using the getMenu function.
An old code path supporting portals outputted by hooks with
strings is marked as deprecated to simplify this code in future.
array-portals-first -> data-portals-first (the value is not
an array)
Changes:
* $this->getLanguages and $this->getToolbox() always returns an array (see BaseTemplate)
but we previously supported portals made using raw HTML. Let's move away from that
behaviour and deprecate it.
* Hooks are moved into buildSidebarProps and marked as deprecated where possible
(SkinTemplateToolboxEnd). SidebarBeforeOutput can be used instead.

Moving styles from the existing styles to common/layout
or components stylesheets they should be associated with.
Components are identified using PascalCase. Lowercase names are used for things
that are not components. This distinction should help us reason with the code
better and make it clearer where CSS belongs, saving us lots of wasted
effort discussing conventions.
Patch isn't making actual CSS changes themselves - for testing purposes this
should be a NOOP.
In preparation for the gradient removal,
'background-gradient.less' is marked as legacy.
Merged 'externalLinks.less' into content.less, they belong to content.

the PersonalMenu should be generalised. In future we will use it as
the template for all menus

In I23f18fc5f078da3331cad540bbaf533d348f2108 layout was pulled out
into a separate file and we changed the ordering of our CSS.
This was done with the thinking that media print queries would be
mixed with media screen.
After discussions with Volker, I have been convinced this was a
mistake.
media queries of the same type can be nested so the @media screen
is removed from layout.less and the media query in index.less will
be used instead.

Going into the new version of Vector, we'll want to rewrite the layout
rules entirely and decouple the sidebar from the logo.
To prepare for this we will move the layout file into a legacy folder.
We also separate Sidebar styles needed for the legacy mode from the old mode.
This will allow us to make changes to the header in new Vector without having to touch
or test the legacy codebase via a new file layout.less and using the existing sidebar
code.

This unblocks work on the header which will rewrite the layout
code.
This corresponds to a 0.06kb increase in CSS size, which is zero
after gzipping.

Instead, for the subset of Grade C browsers without SVG support (currently
IE8), we remove the icon and display the label text instead –
in a hacky, but acceptable way.

It is not the most useful of components and adds an additional layer
of complexity similar to multiple inheritance chains that we find in
Object oriented programming.
I suggest we use index.mustache going forward for laying out the different
components and use components/template partials for reusable components.

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.
