Description

MediaWiki Core, it's extensions and skins use WebdriverIO to drive our Selenium testing framework. All tests are written using WebdriverIO sync mode. The sync mode will be deprecated in Node.js v16. We need to move tests in MediaWiki Core, it's extensions and skins from WebdriverIO sync to async mode.

TODO

Update documentation.
There should be no instances of @wdio/sync and browser.call() in relevant repositories.
browser.execute (search) should be replaced with browser.executeAsync().
Should fs.writeFileSync() (search) be replaced with fs.writeFile()?
