gallery in packed resizes images to have same height. Since the images
have dynamic height, its impossible to implement the perrow option
using a width: css rule.
Also fixes the option for the nolines mode, where it calculated
the row length wrong.

This extension adds a "mode" parameter to the gallery
tag, allowing different formats for the gallery tag
(galleries in the ui can be controlled by a global)
The added modes are:
*traditional - The original gallery
*nolines - Like the original, no borders, less padding
*packed - All images aligned by having same height.
JS also justifies the images.
(I think this one is the one that will go over best
with users.)
*packed-overlay - like packed, but caption goes over
top the image in a transloucent box.
*packed-hover - like packed-overlay, but caption only
visible on hover. Degrades gracefully on screen
readers, and falls back to packed-overlay if
you are using a touch screen. I kind of like
this mode when the caption is not that important
(ex a category where its just the file name).
This also adds a hook to allow people to make their
own gallery version. I believe there would be interest
in this, as different people have done different
experiments. For example:
* Wikia: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Galleries,_Slideshows,_and_Sliders/wikitext
* Wikinews: https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Template:Picture_select
What I would like to see for this patch, is first it gets
enabled, with the default still "traditional". After
about a month or two we consult with users. If feedback
is positive, we change the default mode to one of the
others (probably "packed").
Adds a "mode" parameter to gallery for different
mode, including one 'height-constrained-overlay'
which looks much more like other modern websites.
Note: This makes one change to the old gallery format.
It makes Nonexistent files be rendered like thumbnails
(i.e. they are rendered with a little grey border).
One thing I'm slightly worried about with this patch,
is that I added an option to MediaTransformOutput::toHtml
to override the width attribute. I'm not sure if that
is the best approach, and would appreciate thoughts
on that.
This should be merged at the same time as Ie82c1548
