[mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend@master] specials: Remove unused SpecialMobileCite class and related code
I ran a query on this one against a days worth of data (note I'm not taking into account the translated names of this page) and there were only 5 hits to this page. On that basis I'm happy to drop this page.
select count(*) from wmf.webrequest where day = 10 and month = 5 and year = 2020 AND uri_path LIKE "%MobileCite%";

Thanks for this @Jdlrobson. I've added it to the commit message of the patch!
@ovasileva is it okay to break links to this artifact and remove this piece of code? Historically it was only ever in beta and it only got 5 hits in a single day across all our projects recently. The redirect is a bit useless e.g. clicking https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileCite/Spain redirects to main page. If we remove that will simply 404.
