Add filters for watchlist table content

[Martin Scharrer]

Dynamic filters should be added to all watchlist tables, e.g. using the ​dataTables functions (see below for links), to only show specific rows. This is not to be confused with #7647, which "filters" columns.

Some ideas:

• Only show all entries which changed since the last time the user looked at the watchlist.
• Only show all entries which changed in a user definable range (Extra: provide JS data pickers)
• Add filters (like in link 1.) to all columns, e.g. in the table footer.
• Extra: Regular expressions could also be supported.
• Extra: Filter selections should be saved in a cookie to survive between page views.

With this it should be possible to e.g. filter all wiki pages changed in a certain time range, which start (or include) with 'ABC/' and where changed by a certain user.

Added integer versions of date/times as a hidden <span> for later numeric filtering. See #7664.

Idea:

The version filter input syntax should be "min-max", which one of "min" or "max" optional, as well as the "-" if only one value is given.

Examples:

• 4-8 Versions 4 till 8
• -9 All version <=9
• 7- All version >=7
• 5 Only version 5
• empty All versions

Note: The same syntax should be supported by the python code for adding and removing tickets.

Done so far [8742:8753]:

• Add filters (like in link 1.) to all columns, e.g. in the table footer.
• Extra: Filter selections should be saved in a cookie to survive between page views.

(In [8803]) Made first changes for a selectable date/time range included since last visit check-box. HTML layout is finished by JS-code is still TODO. See #7664. See #7649.

[Martin Scharrer]

TODO

• Implement search/selection ranges for ticket ids (python and JS).
• Implement date/time picker.
  • Needs JS library
  • Needs Option to switch on/off
  • Selection must be saved as cookie manually
  • Code since last visit button

Finished in [8925]. Now implemented for all numeric data (Wiki page version, ticket id and comment number). Supported format is:

• a-b numbers a till b, both inclusive
• -b All numbers <=b
• a- All numbers >=a
• a Only number a
• empty or invalid All numbers

Multiple ranges can be given as comma separated list. A number will test positive when in any of this ranges:

Examples:

• a-b,c-d All numbers which are between a and b OR between c and d.
• -a,b,c- All numbers which are either <= a, ==b or >=c

There should be some simple help text on the watchlist to explain this, or at least a link to a help page.

However, the implementation of all suggested filters is complete so I close this ticket.
