Hey,

Looking at Setup.php, it seems to include the relevant items in the following 
order:
- DefaultSettings.php
- Composer autoloader
- LocalSettings.php or config callback

Could this allow us to initialise $wgServer in Setup.php, right after the 
Composer autoloader is included? It seems to me this would not break custom 
LocalSettings files that expect it to be set, as LocalSettings would not yet be 
included at that point. What do you think?

Best
