Description

This removes the mwbot dependency and make it easier for us to update our performance changes.

This needs to be done in a couple of steps:

Update the wdio-wikibase package. I done a PR and not sure if we need to add the functionality to add a cookie for the API calls first.
Update Wikibase to use the new package

Acceptance Criteria:

Wikibase uses wdio-mediawiki 6.X.0
