rMW3ca13774e244: PHPUnit autoload file for PhpStorm

autoload.ide.php has been technical debt ever since it was added, given that it was mostly copy-paste from phpunit.php and doMaintenance.php (as documented in the commit message).

With https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/373174/ this file is now falling behind because it does weird hacky stuff. We should figure out how to get rid of it and support IDEs with the normal phpunit running mechanism.

Is this task considered TD because it's essentially duplicate code (reading into the "mostly copy-paste" comment)?

With https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/451636 this file will fall even more behind, so I think we can just remove it now, given that it's seemingly unmaintained.
