Change If61797aa: Skin rewrite from MaxSem https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#change,5361

Max Semenik has rewritten MobileFrontend to use MediaWiki's skin infrastructure. We're continuing to further remove any Wikimedia-specific code from the extension in preparation for a migration to core. Future work will involve an easy way to create custom output based on the view (mobile, desktop, tablet).

Patrick Reilly, Max Semenik, and Arthur Richards worked on the very ambitious project of moving MobileFrontend to MediaWiki core. We now have a dedicated set of tasks for the project and have started to process them. Max added modular device detection support to core, and Arthur migrated HTMLForm.
