Description

Initial steps to take in order to define the strategy as agreed on 2020-06-09

To allow for easier identification of dependencies and interdependencies in PHP code, all Wikibase classes are to moved/adjusted to PSR-4-compliant namespaces. This is expected to make reasoning about the PHP classes easier. For bookkeeping reasons, T172368 will be used to track this activity.
Create an overview of existing types of coupling between Repo and Client: T254902
Explore the monorepo solution for maintaining shared logic: T254920
Create a draft of using WikibaseClient extension as an interim platform to share logic between Client and Repo. It should be accounted for not allowing to share PHP code but only other shared logic (i18n messages, RL modules): T254922
