[QA] PageObjects in mobile browser tests

[Jon Robson]

I noticed this when writing tests for lead photo uploads where I had to
create a LeadPhotoPage (to represent a page which has no lead photo)... [1]

I agree we should only use page exists but use more generic names

e.g. instead of Barack Obama article

PageWithInfobox

or PageWithMultipleSections etc..

~ Be strong. Not bold. Bold has taken a new semantic meaning and it is time
for change.
