rPf27f7dce528e: Install PHP mbstring extension on RHEL & friends
Summary

The mbstring extension for PHP is not a dependency to any of the already
listed packages on RHEL-like systems, and is needed by Phabricator
(showing a "install mbstring" message as the first thing if it is not
installed)

RHEL seems to have some extra steps to allow php-mbstring to be installed, though:

PS: disabled lint for this change because of the already >80 chars long "yum install" string

Test Plan
  • Created a new container with docker using both centos:6.4 and fedora:20 images
  • Ran install script
  • Started httpd and mysqld services
  • Browsed to server's address
  • Got error message
  • Installed php-mbstring & restarted httpd
  • Works
