[QA] [WikimediaMobile] Qualifiers for selecting test articles for vagrant role

[Greg Grossmeier]

Given the topic, let's keep the QA list in the loop on this so the
MW-Vagrant maintainers can participate/see.

Also, it looks like the original bug (reported in the MW-Vagrant
project) covers this specific request from Reading, no? Essentially,
let's see how far we can get with a general "MW-Vagrant (WMF?) testing
data import" instead of a vertical specific "reading-web test data set".
If what the Reading team needs is way too much for this then we can
break it out, otherwise it seems like a needless distinction.
