Set release status flags based on info from the regressing bug 1852918

This is related to Bug 1852724. Can you provide more info that the talos test actually checks? Does it check x resources used? In that case it makes sense as we need to create main window twice.

:aglavic could you give an answer for Comment 2?

Hi :stransky,
This performance regression was caused by bug 1852918, which was created because in bug 1852724 the title bar was not being displayed.
I think bug 1852724's changes, which resulted in the title bar not being displayed it artificially improved the score and as a result of fixing the bug returned our score back to where it was before, which is why the improvements and regressions of 1852724 and 1852918 are inverses of each other
I am going to close this bug and re-classify the alerts, I am going to close this bug and I apologize for all the confusion this has caused
Generally when we have a fix for a test fail it results in a backout and is clearly identifiable in the commit message and treeherder logs but this was not the case in this bug, but now that we know this can happen I will incorporate it into our perf-sheriffing workflow to not have the same confusion arise again
