[mediawiki/core@master] build: Change Travis CI temporary password
I guess the old method bypassed this.
This is a problem that started in August 2016 when the PasswordError exception was removed from the User::setPassowrd() method in this commt: Remove $wgDisableAuthManager. The method was replaced to call internal method that returns boolean but Installer was never updated.
So apparently it never caught any PasswordError exception since that year because none will be thrown, and that's why this password never raised an issue. The update in rMW3df9742b3203 just helped to unravel and fix that problem; and now that we are doing it correctly the password failed the verification hard.
