1113273 - talos determines the sourcestamp and other binary specific information during ffsetup, this could be done earlier in the harness

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Talos, defect)

Description

Inside of talos we start running a test and the first thing we do is create a fresh profile and initialize it.  During this specific process we parse the revision, sourcestamp, etc. from the binary.

We end up doing this for each test we run in the test run, in most jobs we run this is done 3+ times, in some jobs it is done 6 times.

we can move this to run_tests.py where much of the browser_config setup is done.  

This seems like a cleaner place to do this and it allows us to use the source stamp for logging or other decisions if we choose to at any point during the test run.
