Back in bug 1335748 and bug 1336479 (among others) we added QR builds to automation. These builds had webrender built in and turned on, and were useful for testing webrender functionality.

Since then, we have made webrender built-in to regular desktop builds as well, and the feature can be enabled at runtime via pref or environment variable. As such, we no longer need the dedicated builds any more, and we should stop producing them.

Bug 1368684 - Stop building webrender-enabled builds in automation.

I can only really speak for the taskcluster/ files, so if you're not confident you might want to seek other reviewers for `testing/**` and `browser/**`

At any rate, this is great, but there's more `-qr` stuff in `taskcluster/ci/tests/{test-platforms,test-sets,tests}.yml` that should be removed too, either in a revision of this patch or in a followup.

I'm fairly confident this removal is fine - I added all of it just a few months ago.

That stuff is still being used - we run linux64-qr tests as tier-1 on inbound/autoland/central/graphics. We just don't need these extra build jobs, because we don't use them for anything.
Ah, I missed that test platform linux64-qr/opt runs on build platform linux64/opt, not linux64-qr/opt.  Carry on!
