Spinner plugin

Add a spinner after an element

> $( '#mw-abusefilter-syntaxcheck' ).injectSpinner( 'abusefilter-syntaxcheck' );

Create a spinner element and return it

> $.createSpinner( 'abusefilter-syntaxcheck' );

Remove a spinner element

> $.removeSpinner( 'abusefilter-syntaxcheck' );

So FYI there are already jquery spinner plugins in MwEmbed and UploadWizard.

Can we just pick one? :)

To be honest I did look at those 2 implementations but I didn't feel they were general enough, and were both sort of odd. This is a direct replacement for injectSpinner found in wikibits.js, and will aid in developers who are making a transition from old style JS to use jQuery.
