A patch from baku got backed out for making Binscope crash on xul.dll during the ATLVersionCheck and VB6Check. The crash is in ancient msdia120 and smells of a threading or memory safety issue (oh the irony) since the crashing address is sometimes valid by the time my debugger steps in.

Binscope is deprecated anyway and the right long term fix is to stop using it: bug 1450088.

In the meantime let's just stop doing those checks. I'm not especially worried about accidentally introducing a VB6 dependency.

Picking Nathan who was the most recent reviewer for autobinscope.py.
