[QA] mediawiki-selenium Ruby gem

[Željko Filipin]

Hi everybody,

I think I have solved the problem of Ruby code that is used in several
repositories[1]. At the moment we are using the old and proven copy/paste
method, but we all know there is a better way. I have
created mediawiki-selenium Ruby gem[2][3]. It is still in early development
stage, but it is working[4].

I will be updating the gem this week to include the latest and greatest
code from all repositories. I will also update all repositories to use
mediawiki-selenium gem and removing copy/pasted code.

I have to figure out what to do when a repository has custom code that
other repositories do not need. I have an idea but I do not know if it will
work until I try it.

We probably need a better name for the gem. I am open to suggestions.

It would be good to host it at Gerrit too, but I have no idea how to do
that. Halp[5]! :)

Questions, comments, code contributions (...) are welcome here, at
Bugzilla, Github and/or Gerrit.

Željko
