Original Bug title: 
Provide an API to activate VE on arbitrary textareas for Gadgets and user
scripts and document it at [[:mw:VisualEditor/API]]

Please also create a mailing-list for those API updates.

Issue:
Since users will not be able to understand Wiki-Markup, please provide and API
for turning-on VisualEditor on <textarea>s. Example use case would be the
Translate Extension where translators still have to enter wiki-markup or
LiquidThreads or whatever is adding Wiki-Markup to a page.

Providing an API to Gadget authors and other tools is an important matter;
nearly all edits are made through gadgets at certain pages; thus it is not just
an "enhancement".
