[Ohrrpgce] Wiki down again! (N/T)

The wiki us up again. The solution was:

* rsync the whole folder to my local machine (which took forever for the
first time)
* git pull
* git pull on all the extensions
* composer update --no-dev
* rsync all the changed files back to dreamhost
* run the mediawiki upgrade script

I have all that wrapped in a script now, although I am sure I need to test
it out more carefully, and incorporate some kind of backup step too, before
I schedule it with a cron job or anything like that.
