Ori Livneh f181cdec56 Add option for sharing info about this MediaWiki install via pingback
When $wgPingback is true, MediaWiki will periodically ping
https://www.mediawiki.org/beacon with basic information about the local
MediaWiki installation.  This data includes, for example, the type of system,
PHP version, and chosen database backend.

The pingback is sent via a deferred (post-send) update whenever $wgVersion
changes, using the updatelog table to ensure we don't send duplicate pingbacks.
A database lock ensures only one thread attempts to send the pingback, and a
cache key throttles attempts to no more than once per hour.

$wgPingback is false by default. The web installer has a checkbox for
controlling this option, and it is checked by default. This nudges new installs
to turn on pingbacks, but does not sneak this decision past sysops of existing
installs.

== MediaWiki ==

MediaWiki is a free and open-source wiki software package written in PHP. It
serves as the platform for Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, used
by hundreds of millions of people each month. MediaWiki is localised in over
350 languages and its reliability and robust feature set have earned it a large
and vibrant community of third-party users and developers.

MediaWiki is:

* feature-rich and extensible, both on-wiki and with hundreds of extensions;
* scalable and suitable for both small and large sites;
* simple to install, working on most hardware/software combinations; and
* available in your language.

For system requirements, installation, and upgrade details, see the files
RELEASE-NOTES, INSTALL, and UPGRADE.
