Hi all (especially Tomislav)

I had to delete the ProveIt gadget and disable the browser test that
Tomislav wrote.

ProveIt has three problems in the beta environment:

* because of the way Selenium/WebDriver works in Chrome, some Chrome tests
would fail due to the way that ProveIt lies on top of all of the other page
controls.  ChromeDriver thinks that e.g. the 'Save' button in the wikitext
editor cannot be clicked, because it lies "behind" the ProveIt controls.

* ProveIt code being loaded into VisualEditor.  This is probably a VE bug.
 See the screen shot https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55801

* The javascript and css would be loaded erroneously in Internet Explorer,
sometimes causing the wikitext editor to fail to load.  I would see the
ProveIt styling on the upper left of the page in this case.
  See the screen shots at
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56117

So testing ProveIt served its purpose-- we found some good bugs by doing
it.  Now to get the bugs fixed.

Note, I have not deleted the test, it just no longer runs against any test
environments.

-Chris
