[QA] run browser tests against production Wikipedia?

[Rachel Thomas]

>From Zeljko's gerrit code, it looks like he already removed the production
tests.   I was going to say that it could be still valuable to run them.
There may be a time when test2 is not updated correctly with the right
versions of features that we want to test, or is down for maintenance, and
it would be a good idea to have a backup test running on production
server.    Also, those tests do not seem to be ones that would take a lot
of time or horsepower to run, so it wouldn't be much overhead to run those.
