contrib: remove "mw-to-git"
The "mw-to-git" directory contains tools for accessing MediaWiki via Git. The scripts are essentially unmaintained in Git: despite a couple of global cleanups, the last changes were a couple of security-related issues part of 9a86064 (remote-mediawiki: use "sh" to eliminate unquoted commands, 2020-09-21) and its parents. We don't ever run any of the tests so it is more likely than not that many of the tests have been bitrotting, like e.g. documented in f8ab018 (remote-mediawiki tests: annotate failing tests, 2020-09-21). According to Matthieu Moy [1], one of the original developers of this tool, it didn't receive any attention recently and there is no motivation to keep maintaining it anymore in the community. The project has been spun out of Git [2] and thus has a new official home, but did not receive much attention over there, either. As such, it seems like the MediaWiki transport helper is slowly fading away. But given that there is a new home, it doesn't make sense to have it as part of Git anymore only to let it rot. Remove the directory.
