[meta] Remove dependency on Underscore.js outside of Backbone and mark it internal

Created on 29 September 2021, almost 3 years ago

Problem/Motivation

Underscore.js was added to core as a dependency of Backbone.js. Outside of Backbone related code, our usage has been very light. It could take a while to remove all Backbone related code from core on #3145958: [META] Re-evaluate use of Backbone.js in core , so in the mean while we could remove our dependency on Underscore.js.

Proposed resolution

  1. #3270395: Remove use of underscore from editor.admin.js and filter.filter_html.admin.js
  2. Ensure QuickEdit is moving Image integration library there, instead of having it in Image, in #3265140: Move QuickEditImageController from image to quickedit .
  3. Have a child issue to deprecate the library, which will be postponed on #3228986: [Meta] Tasks to deprecate Quick Edit .
