Don't use simpleMDE editor on mobile devices for 1.13 (#14029)

* Don't use simpleMDE editor on mobile devices

simpleMDE doesn't work properly on mobile devices -- We've replaced it with the slightly more working easyMDE in 1.14 but since that change can't be backported to 1.13 we will just disable the editor on mobile here.

* make isMobile function per code review -- disable simpleMDE for code review and replies

* Fix issue with plain text and wiki
