(Whiteboard: [l10n][cleanup]) 

We do these in l10n nightlies to figure out the previous one's filename. This filename is guessable, except once every 6 weeks on version changes. We should stop doing this ls, because it's partly involved with killing surf every morning.

We discussed a few options on IRC:
* Stop doing partials on version changes
* Always try to download a file with the same version and if a 404 is received, decrement the version and try again
* Put the filename in an always-guessable location.
* Use versionless symlinks in the latest-* directories
