Attachment: Bug 2047911 - Part 1: Add a way to install web extensions during a local raptor run. r=#perftest

This makes it possible to specify extentions to raptor. Using either local files or an AMO ID. It then optionally downloads them and sets the necessary prefs in the profile to ensure the addons are sideloaded.

Attachment: Bug 2047911 - Part 3: Add a way to install web extensions during a try perf/fuzzy run. r=#perftest

This adds extentions as an option to the task config. This allows users to easily specify the extensions they would like to have installed during their try runs. It exposes that task config to the most obviously applicable try selectors.

Attachment: Bug 2047911 - Part 2: Add a way to install web extensions during a local mozperftest run. r=#perftest

This makes mozperftest handle the install-extension argument in order to do mozperftest runs with extensions installed. At the moment this doesn't combine with conditioned profiles and works only for clean profiles. This also fixes a bug in runner.py where PERF_FLAGS being specified would cause some issues.
