[Engineering] Selenium Ruby framework deprecation

[Željko Filipin]

This is your friendly but **final** warning that we are replacing Selenium
tests written in Ruby with tests in Node.js. There will be no more
reminders. Ruby stack will no longer be maintained. For more information
see T139740 and T173488.

Extensive documentation is available at mediawiki.org. If you need help
with the migration, I am available for pairing and code review (zfilipin in
Gerrit, zeljkof in #wikimedia-releng).

To see how to write a test watch Selenium tests in Node.js tech talk (J78).
