Description

This is slightly less complicated than T89432. Although it, too, requires a fair amount of refactoring to make our code more testable.

The goal is to be able to run QUnit when merely loading:

base modules (jQuery + mediawiki.js)
modules marked as dependencies by test suites.
registered test suites.

I noticed the mobile team is using node-qunit which I guess is invoked by the npm testJenkins job. An example is PagePreviews T160406 and the migration of Popups (Gerrit patches).

I haven't looked at Popups or PagePreviews code. My guess is they no more rely on Special:JavaScriptTest and hence no more need a mediawiki install.
