This doesn't seem to be live or testable currently, so we may need to review the configuration and then try to QA again.

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Make image browsing available in Beta and TestWiki

Reason:

Waiting for BetaFeatures hook-up for image browsing in the local ReaderExperiments. Any config I add now would be speculative. Abandoning for when the "Carousel BetaFeature" is merged
