[QA] Selenium Ruby framework deprecation

[Željko Filipin]

This is your friendly but penultimate warning that we are replacing
Selenium tests written in Ruby with tests in Node.js. There will be only
one more reminder, in October. In the meantime, only critical problems will
be resolved in the Ruby stack. After October we will no longer maintain it.

You can follow task T139740 or Release Engineering blog for more
information.

Extensive documentation is available at mediawiki.org. If you need help
with the migration, I am available for pairing and code review (zfilipin in
Gerrit, zeljkof in #wikimedia-releng).
