dockerized mediawiki 1.25 upgrade

The latest version of mediawiki comes with VisualEditor which marks the beginning of real wiki visual edition thanks to the use of node parsoid project. This is a radical change when we compare with the former CKEditor which would add a lot of html tags to your wiki markup. With Visual Editor we get plain wiki markup that can be edited by those who do enjoy the keyboard more than the mouse ;-)

Here is a partial docker guideline that can be used to install this latest version.
