Commit summary:

* Use local context instead of global variables
* Pass the context to the HTMLForm object

Comment:

Seems to be a non-required update for an internal API change in 1.18 (r85957), 
which isn't clearly marked in the doc comments for the HTMLForm constructor.

If a string is passed as the second parameter (which used to be $messagePrefix 
but is now $context), then the function internally rearranges to the new order 
of parameters.

IMO this isn't a super great kind of API change as it looks confusing; optional 
parameters in the middle of a list are dangerous!
