Direct access versions in the web UI

[michaelstingl]

This might help while #4556 isn’t designed and implemented yet.

It needs only a new entry in the context menu, that opens a private link in the default system web browser, with a special parameter at the end.

There’s also a new capability available in the 10.2.

QA:

• Verify that the new "Show file versions in browser" right-click menu item shows up when the server supports it (privateLinksDetailsParam capability)
• That it doesn't show up for older servers.
• That using the item opens the browser and shows the "versions" pane for the correct file/dir

[michaelstingl]

Just found folders have no versions. That would be cool to change. Sorry, my fault.

occ app:disable files_versions on the ownCloud server should also disable this.

occ app:enable files_versions ==>

$ curl --silent -u admin:password 'https://example.cloud/ocs/v1.php/cloud/capabilities?format=json' | json_pp
{
…
            "files" : {
               "versioning" : true,
               "privateLinksDetailsParam" : true,
               "undelete" : true,
               "privateLinks" : true,
               "blacklisted_files" : [
                  ".htaccess"
               ],
               "bigfilechunking" : true
            },

occ app:disable files_versions

$ curl --silent -u admin:password 'https://example.cloud/ocs/v1.php/cloud/capabilities?format=json' | json_pp
{
…
            "files" : {
               "undelete" : true,
               "privateLinksDetailsParam" : true,
               "privateLinks" : true,
               "blacklisted_files" : [
                  ".htaccess"
               ],
               "bigfilechunking" : true
            },

@ckamm do we check both capabilities? ( privateLinksDetailsParam AND versioning )

[ckamm]

Good finds! No, I wasn't aware of the versioning capability and will add the check. And remove it for folders.
