By providing context as a parameter in getDependencies, we allow
modules to dyanamically determine dependencies based on context.
Note: To ease rollout, the parameter is optional in this patch. It is expected
that it will be made non-optional in the near future.
The use case is for CentralNotice campaigns to be able to add special
modules ahead of deciding which banner to show a user. The dynamically
chosen RL modules would replace ad-hoc JS currently sent with some banners.
A list of possible campaigns and banners is already sent as a PHP-
implemented RL module; that's the module that will dynamically choose other
modules as dependencies when appropriate. This approach will save a round
trip as compared to dynamically loading the modules client-side.
For compatibility, extensions that override
ResourceLoaderModule::getDependencies() should be updated with the new
method signature. Here are changes for extensions currently deployed on

Bug: T98924
Change-Id: Iee61e5b527321d01287baa03ad9b4d4f526ff3ef
Follows-up f37cee996e which replaced the getHashMtime() and
getDefinitionMtime() methods with dummies that always return 1.
These getModifiedTime() implementations were only tracking the
definition summary or custom hash, which is already tracked
by getVersionHash().
Notes:
* SpecialCharacterDataModule: This one was odd as it was tracking
both the mtime *and* the file contents.
* UserCSSPrefsModule/UserOptionsModule: Remove redundant caching.
Already taken care of by getVersionHash() as of f37cee996e.

These will be autonyms by default, but localised language names
when the cldr extension is installed.
