[integration/quibble@master] Better arg handling

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/496125

The root cause is we have multiple arguments with args='*':

--run, --skip

Used to specify stages, since we know the stages we can migrate that to choices instead.

--commands

Run arbitrary shell snippets with:

for cmd in cmds:
    log.info(cmd)
    subprocess.check_call(cmd, shell=True, cwd=cwd)

Eg via: --commands 'echo hello' 'exec phpunit --debug'. At least in CI configs we only pass a single command, usually a shell script which is defined in the container.

I guess we can allow --commands to only get a single argument but accumulate them in a list using action='append'

projects

Additional repositories to clone.

The job mediawiki-selenium-integration-docker works around the issue by using double dashes to stop argparse from processing an option and move to the next option or argument:

--commands=mwselenium -- mediawiki/selenium
                     ^^^^

projects should be the only one using args='*' to avoid mistakes when one forget to use -- to stop processing.
