Remove Wikimedia-specific maintenance scripts from core

Description

Not sure if there's much of a need for others to use this (hence, if this is the case, move it out), but it's hard coded to using /home/wikipedia, and isn't really much use for other people...

And the description does say as much - "Wikimedia specific!"

dumpInterwiki.php and addwiki.php

Could move them to an extension? "WikimediaMaintenance" sounds ok.

That sounds reasonably sane...

And won't require much work, but tidy things up

I think most of these have now been done and moved to /trunk/extensions/WikimediaMaitenance

compressOld.php is multi use, so is probably ok to stay in trunk

bug 26140 won't be quite so easy

Since most of WM stuff got moved to the new WikimediaMaintenance extension, I guess this bug can be closed now.

guess this bug can be closed now.

I'll give it a quick check and see if anything else should be moved, and close it then!

maintenance/ has got problems, but this is not one of them - a quick check shows that all WMF-specific stuff is in WikimediaMaintenance nowadays...
