[Labs-l] SSH to labs instances with less typing

[Marko Obrovac]

Also note that the FQDN should include the project name as well (this is
not being currently enforced, though), so I'd amend the script with:

labs() {
  host=$1
  proj=$2
  shift 2
  [[ -z "$proj" ]] && proj="<insert_your_default_project_here>"
  ssh "${host}.${proj}.eiad.wmflabs" "$@"
}
