[operations/puppet@production] jobrunner: Standard mediawiki webserver configuration

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/576913

There are several issues with this approach:

• We need to be able to discern videoscaling and normal jobrunning in separated balanced pools. We can probably keep doing so by keeping the IPs separated
• We need to adapt the timeout to be 20 minutes for jobs and 1 day for videos. I'm not sure how that could be done. Maybe sending a special header in the request
• We need to fix how timeouts are set in mediawiki-config too.

Yeah, I'm not asking to join the pools of servers - we're still gonna be calling distinct LVS endpoints and we want the clusters to be separated.

We need to fix how timeouts are set in mediawiki-config too.

Which timeout are you talking about? We're setting PHP-level timeouts in mediawiki-config, that approach will keep working? Are there any other timeouts on SRE level?

One concern around harmonisation of configs is that MW hosts have a different base apache2.conf. I've looked at the differences and the only notable differences are:

Timeout:

Stock: 300
MW: 202

MaxKeepAliveRequests:

Stock 100
MW: 150

KeepAliveTimeout:

Stock: 5
MW: 2
