[integration/config@master] Zuul: [mediawiki/extensions/VueTest] Mark as in production

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/884143

I read through the linked T287044, but it's unclear to me why a "Test" extension needs to be deployed to production. If testing can only be done in beta cluster or on a prod wiki, that seems like a serious problem that installing a test extension doesn't really address?

It can be done locally or on PatchDemo too, but we'd like to have a way for non-technical people to use this test extension as well. We can drop testwiki from this plan if it makes people uncomfortable, but it'd be a big benefit to us to have this extension deployed to the beta cluster.

Specifically, what this would allow us to do is test how the main branch of Codex integrates into MediaWiki before we do a Codex release, and without having to create a PatchDemo wiki that then won't update when Codex changes.

I wonder if it make sense to add this extension to translatewiki?

Yes, it would probably make sense to add VueTest to translatewiki. It's a low priority for translation, but it does contain a handful of translatable messages (6 messages in total).
