This builds on Jim's work in bug 2034315. The idea if that we can let updatebot do automatic updates unless/until a human needs to come in and fix up our patches and rebase, but it doesn't store any patch stack in our tree.

With this change I was able to successfully update from from our current 1.18.4 from a year ago to commits spaced out about every two months and then to the latest commit in the cairo repo. Of course I needed to change "tracking" in moz.yaml to "commit" so the mach vendor command wouldn't be rejected. And there were two patches that we have that were upstreamed in that time frame, so I added some local hacks to ignore those so I could test updating to the latest commit in the cairo repo.

Bug 2035704 is doing this in a different way.
