[mediawiki/core@master] Hide watchlist expiry label in edit form

@Samwilson Thanks for doing this work! I have moved this ticket onto our Kanban board. Since a patch has been submitted, should it be marked as 'Needs Review,' or not yet?

General info about the ticket: We discussed this work during our morning standup today (8/19), which included @Prtksxna. We talked about the fact that we're fine with the removal of the label as a solution for now, and we'll see what kind of feedback we get (if any) about the lack of the label upon release to pilot wikis. Overall, it makes sense to go forward with this approach since, a) the ability to watch temporarily is still in place, b) the issue with the extra line for the dropdown is removed, c) the placement of the label was already a bit awkward (not only due to the extra line), and d) users will be able to understand the meaning of the dropdown due to repeated usage of the feature, the inclusion of the dropdown in other places (such as watching via star & action=watch), and explanation of the feature in documentation.

Tagging @dmaza, so he sees this update as well. Thanks!

Yes, and actually the patch has already been +2'd! So it can go straight to QA.

Sorry if I created this patch out of priority order, it's just that it was tiny and I'd finished it while demoing the issues to Prateek yesterday. :)

Otherwise, functions as it did before.

This does not appear to have affected how the watch checkbox appears in VisualEditor.

This is a very small change using preexisting OOUI functionality (I think) and a CSS change. Looking at the code, the changes do not appear to affect any other part of the application.

I have tested this on betawiki. The label has been removed and the watchlist expiry dropdown is now on the same line as the watchlist checkbox (see screenshot example below). I'm marking this work as Done.
