1361877 - improve partial update logic for new locales

Status: NEW

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Aki Sasaki (not active)]

Aiui, right now:

- we generate complete mars for builds and repacks
- we generate partial mars for locales that aren't new
- we submit all mars to balrog

The second point is a problem for locales that were new one or two betas ago.  Because there isn't a build to generate partials from on the previous release, partial mar generation fails, and we don't submit any mars to balrog.

If we're able to check the locales for a given previous release, we can determine whether we should expect a partial mar between the two releases.
