/**
 * The old mw.util.jsMessage function before https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/17605/, which
 * introduced the silly auto-hide function. Also with the original styles.
 * Add a little box at the top of the screen to inform the user of
 * something, replacing any previous message.
 * Calling with no arguments, with an empty string or null will hide the message
 *
 * @param message {mixed} The DOM-element, jQuery object or HTML-string to be put inside the message box.
 * @param className {String} Used in adding a class; should be different for each call
 * to allow CSS/JS to hide different boxes. null = no class used.
 * @return {Boolean} True on success, false on failure.
