SkinMustache in core provides most of what is required for Vector to
generate its menus. In the interest of having a canonical source of
truth for menus across all skins, Vector should use this data.
To ensure the HTML generated is (mostly) the same after this patch to
prior, a few modifications are necessary:
* The data from core is decorated so that Vector can continue having its
own custom class names on menus. This is done using the
decoratePortletClass method.
* There is no support for a menu having a header representing the
selected menu item, as is currently the case with variants. This is
achieved via an extension to getPortletData. It's assumed that later
when variants are merged with languages, this can be removed.
* Menus are agnostic to how they are displayed, so we must continue to
add the is-dropdown template variable to drop down menus. In future we
may want to rethink our Menu partial to make this unnecessary in PHP.
* The portal-first class is redundant in the modern Vector as we can
use the first-child selector. Previously we introduced a class to
service the legacy skin where this rule doesn't apply as #p-logo is
the first child. However, the legacy skin can do this using a special
next sibling selector instead.

Drop support for vectorMenu, vectorTabs and
vectorMenuCheckbox, body, menu selectors in preference
for standard selectors.
This change will impact a large amount of user scripts/styles but should
not impact any gadgets.
These classes were kept around for user scripts and styles however are not
needed internally. As we transition to a more maintainable skin menu
system, it is time to lose these selectors even though this will cause
disruption.
Vector now will use the mw-portlet class rather than the vector-menu
class in its own CSS styling, however it keeps the other classes to
allow differentiation of the different types of menu.
Changes to test: Previously the tests assumed all portlets were empty
when checking the classes. This is very rare, so its better to check
the classes of non-empty portlets, so several tests are updated
accordingly to drop the emptyPortlet class.

No changes made to the CSS rules.
* 'SearchBox.less' is the common part that won't change in modern.
* layout styles copied to both 'layout.less'

Removing presentational `<div class="visualClear"></div>` in process.
Only leaving in for legacy/layout.less and adding comment for future
evaluation if clearfix is continuously needed. In modern we've
got all parts of Vector in our awareness without featuring `float`s.

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.

* Standardise the menu markup. This means all menus in Vector will now
be wrapped in a div and will have a heading.
* All menus now have the vector-menu class. Styles specific to personal tools
are moved to layout since these are concerned with placement.
* The ul class will always have menu class.
* emptyPortal class is generalised into vector-menu-empty for consistency
with other classes and moved from common.less into Menu.less
* Standardise hooks - BaseTemplateAfterPortlet can now be run on any
menu.
Changes to HTML:
* lang and dir attributes are moved from the h3 up to the div element
.vectorTabs, .portal(s) and #p-personal now has hidden span element inside h3
* for non portals ul.menu" is now wrapped in a div.vector-menu-content
This change does impact the following CSS selectors which will need to be updated:
I see no matches for these selectors in code search.
```
#p-variants > ul
#p-namespaces > ul
#p-personal > ul
#p-views > ul
#p-cactions > ul
```
Using global-search.toolforge.org I see one match
for p-variants, 26 for p-namespaces, 30 for p-personal,
36 for p-views and 7 for p-cactions. I see this as acceptable
breakage provided a user notice is sent out which it has been

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.

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.

Does not add `.mw-footer-*` CSS classes to `ul#footer-*` and
`li#footer-*-*` to save bandwidth.
NOTE:
- The former id selectors can be removed form the styles after the varnish cache
is updated with the new DOM.
- The modern version still uses the legacy layout at this stage.

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.
