Adding the Android version number (Bug 1169772) trips up Google's version detection and sends us something fancier but broken-er. Until we can get Google to update their detection we should send a version-less override to mail.google.com.

With ua-override.json coming into play (Bug 1184268), we can write an override for 42+ there. But we'll also need an old-skool pref in mobile.js for 41.

Sheriffs, checkin-needed just for "1184320.-Add-UA-override-to-remove-Android-versi.patch" -- I still need approval for the AURORA one.

No try run because it just adds a UA override to ua-update.json. But it builds locally and works as expected.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: 
We tripped up Google's UA detection with Bug 1169772 and get sent an unusable Gmail for Fennec users.

[User impact if declined]:
Gmail doesn't work and users get sad.

[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]:
Manual testing.

[Risks and why]: 
No real risks. This sends a different user-agent string to the mail.google.com domain, and only that domain.

[String/UUID change made/needed]:
None

40 should not be affected, FWIW.

Was verified by dev locally, let's uplift to Aurora.

Mike, that was my bad. I meant to indicate status-firefox41 to "affected". Thanks!
No worries. ^_^
Let's remove the UA override for GMail. 
Should we open a new bug, or should we just reuse this one.
