Change 125264 merged by Ori.livneh:
Work around bug 63780 by specifying a siteParamsCallback

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/125264

When siteParamsCallback is called for 'enwiki', it doesn't know whether the configuration values it should return are the HHVM ones or not, so this workaround will have the effect of redirecting users on beta-hhvm to beta on login. So I'll have to figure out a better solution at some point. For now, though, this does unbreak testing on beta, which doesn't care / know about beta-hhvm.
