The beta-code-update-eqiad is re-enabled and beta is getting regular
code updates again.

I'm happy to report that the evil plan is one step closer to fruition.
I able to run scap manually on deployment-bastion. That actually took
much less fiddling than I had imagined and I had time left over in my
window to setup a Jenkins job [2] that will be running the scap
process after each run of beta-code-update-eqiad/.

This puts us really close to being able to say that scap is deploying
the beta code. I want to watch the job run for a while without
handholding and backport some manual changes into scap and puppet
before moving on to the next steps. If things are stable I hope to
make additional changes early/mid next week that will get the apaches
in beta running from the scap shipped copies of MediaWiki rather than
the NFS drive.
