    merge mozilla-inbound to mozilla-central a=merge

I am getting the following:

1. mozconfig has

ac_add_options --target=x86_64-pc-mingw32
ac_add_options --host=x86_64-pc-mingw32
ac_add_options --enable-profiling
ac_add_options --enable-debug-symbols
ac_add_options --enable-debug

2. Run start-shell-msvc2015-x64.bat on mozilla-build
3. With "./mach clobber" after update and "./mach build"
