[Ohrrpgce] SVN: james/12026 Add ansible script to install/upgrade the OHRRPGCE wiki's mediawiki inst

[Ralph Versteegen]

Finally got around to installing and figuring out how to run ansible. I'm a
bit disappointed that it takes such a long time to run, because of how long
it takes to untar and delete the mediawiki installation. It looks like you
partly tried to prevent that with
  - name: Clean up old staging folder
    file:
      state: absent
      dest: '{{ staging_dir }}'
    when: upload_tarball.changed

etc, but it doesn't actually work, because of the ultimate 'mv "{{
staging_dir }}" "{{ real_dir }}"'.
I found that making a copy of ohrrpgce/ takes a very long time so I guess
it's all unavoidable. I'll stick to making test changes via ssh before
copying them over to the ansible scripts.
