remote-mediawiki tests: use CLI installer
Replace the use of screen-scraping in the test environment
installation with simply invoking MediaWiki's command-line
installer.
The old code being deleted here relied on our own hardcoded POST
parameter names & the precise layout of MediaWiki's GUI installer at a
given version. Somewhere between [1] and now this inevitably broke.
As far as I can tell there was never a reason for this screen-scraping
hack, when [1] was introduced it hardcoded MediaWiki 1.19.0, the CLI
installer was introduced in 1.17.0. Perhaps the authors weren't aware
of it, or this code was written for an older version.
This allows us to simply delete our own template version of
LocalSettings.php, it'll instead be provided by the CLI installer.
While we're at it let's fix a few things, these changes weren't
practical to split up (I'd need to fix code I was about to mostly
delete)
* Use MediaWiki's own defaults where possible, e.g. before we'd name
the database "wikidb.sqlite", now we'll simply use whatever name
MediaWiki prefers (currently my_wiki.sqlite) by only supplying the
directory name the SQLite file will be dropped into, not the full
path.
* Put all of our database & download assets into a new "mediawiki/"
folder. This makes it easier to reason about as the current &
template "backup" database the tests keep swapping around live
next to each other.
This'll also prevent future potential breakage as there isn't a
single SQLite database. MediaWiki also creates a job queue
database and a couple of cache databases. In practice it seems we
got away with not resetting these when we reset the main database,
but it's the sort of thing that could break in the future (reset,
main store doesn't have the article, but the cache does).
* The "delete" function now only deletes the MediaWiki installation
& database, not the downloaded .tar.gz file. This makes us
friendlier to a developer on a slow connection.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
