local-charts interface

Create an interface for the local-charts ecosystem

Summary of discussion here: Golang has probably the best installation story of anything we're talking about, let's do that. (With the caveat that we'll aim to make things pluggable.)

• cli toolkit for go: https://github.com/spf13/cobra
• preact.js: https://github.com/preactjs/preact
• TODO: Get to installed binary for CLI.

Pending review / future work

• 517557: Add restbase chart (port from local-charts)
  • Earlier discussion in pipeline meeting:
    • We need feedback from Marko
    • Other feedback needed since it is a change from the established patterns of other charts
• 508392 (WIP): Add .pipeline/blubber.yaml with dev variant for local-charts
  • Abandoned for the moment, to revisit once some questions about MediaWiki extension installation are sorted out
  • See also: Determine a standard way of installing MediaWiki lib/extension dependencies within containers
  • Update deployment-charts templates
  • https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/deployment-charts/+/519485
