What is the purpose of the change
This pull requests addresses two related issues with the WikipediaEditsSource. It makes the WikipediaEditsSourceTest a proper test instead of unnecessarily starting a FlinkMiniCluster and addresses a potential test instability.
In general, the WikipediaEditsSource is not in good shape and could benefit from further refactoring. One potential area for improvement is integration with the asynchronous channel listener that reports events like errors or being kicked out of a channel, etc.
I did not do this due to time constraints and the fact that this is not a production source. In general, it is questionable whether we should keep the test as is or remove it since it depends on connectivity to an IRC channel.
