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

[James Paige]

Yeah, that "when" clause on the cleanup step was an optimization for when I

And yes, it is still reasonable to make experimental local edits, and just
add them to the ansible script as a way of codifying them and making them
permanent
