Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

Visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Talk_page with night mode enabled

What happens?:

What should have happened instead?:
Icon should make use of the Codex mixin instead of OOUI so that it's color is flipped in night theme.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
This should likely be switched to use a Codex icon.

Blocked pending a discussion in team sync tomorrow

The issue:

the linked stylesheet (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/core/+/6e4337de93f312dc8ec8da805cf66a7199588308/resources/src/mediawiki.helplink/helplink.less) is attaching the icon directly to the link element, but the codex mixin wants an element of its own
I'm not seeing a super easy way to hack it or add an element for the help notice icon
it looks like we could add skin-invert relatively easily right here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/core/+/d18d0c228320afe286984b60e1d3c5073ad6c3e7/includes/Output/OutputPage.php#1769
soft blocked on discussing decisions with the team

I think ideal solution here would be to add a span element to addHelpLink for just the icon (cdxIconHelp)
We probably need to consider cached HTML.
