Up until now, ship-it triggers some buildbot jobs when we want to release Fennec beta/release.

Once bug 1338161 is done, we should redirect the builds to release-runner.

Bug 1340548 - [Fennec Relpro] Prevent betas from being handled by buildbot (aka old release runner)

Based on the IRC discussion we had last Friday, we should just modify old-release-runner. The latest release-runner has actually been done in bug 1338150.

I just took out beta builds. Release will have to wait 6 more weeks.

I also cleaned up the comments. After checking out bug 1252333 and bug 1263976, I'm not sure we actually need to backout these bugs. Once relpro is done, we should just stop using old-release-runner, is that correct? If not please tell me I'm living a lie :) 

What do you think Mihai?

We can drop this comment sentence "Once migration .." I doubt we'll ever remove this regex. When we do, it means we found a solution for Thunderbird so hopefully we can kill this entire branch altogether :)

+1 on filtering just betas. We definitely want the Fennec betas *only* as there might be a Fennec dot release in those 6 weeks that we wouldn't want to deal with in relpro. Once we're ready for a Fennec release, we can follow-up to remove this too.

+1 good catch! We wouldn't want to deal with a surprise dot-release Fennec while we still heavily work on Fennec beta.

++ definitely won't need to backout those changes, we're far too much into progress to come back to the past! :P
However, until we find a solution for Thunderbird, I'm afraid we can't delete the 'old-release-runner' branch even though we have all the other stuff in relpro.

Comments in code updated per Mihai's review.

Today is merge day, and we'll be willing to use Release promotion for beta. I checked with :jcristau whether an unexpected Fennec 52.0b12 may come up today. He confirmed, there won't be any.

Hence, I landed the patch on the old-release-runner branch at: https://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/rev/172a81d0d5abad9f9bdf5858dd4dd8052637532b
I didn't find the documentation for deploying old-release-runner. A simple `puppet apply --test` didn't update the repo. That's why, I went with Mihai's suggestion: manually update the repo, and `supervisorctl restart releaserunner`.

Thank you for the help, Mihai!
