Use new labs project (extdist.wmflabs.org) for ExtensionDistributor

Description

I've set up a new labs project for ExtensionDistributor to serve tarballs instead of using github. Example tarball: http://extdist.wmflabs.org/?version=REL1_23&ext=VisualEditor

This will provide better privacy for users, and also fix a few bugs like submodule support (bug 44022).

Yuvi is helping puppetize the setup.

I want to temporarily enable ExtensionDistributor on testwiki, point it labs, make sure there are no issues, and then turn it on on mediawiki.org.

New plan after talking with Chad: have ExtensionDistributor get a list of branches from Gerrit's API (I5c4ca2ee13f256260a7fe9b703af5fbdb902db66), and just assume that the tarballs exist on extdist.wmflabs.org. This way prod will never have to talk to labs.

My half-re-write of the extension makes it so this really isn't possible :/

Should we track download counts for the tarballs? :)
