Attachment: [buildbot-configs] disable win64 PGO

This removes builders like this
  WINNT 6.1 x86-64 mozilla-inbound pgo-build
except for try, and modifies builders like 
  WINNT 6.1 x86-64 mozilla-central nightly
to
* not have 'MOZ_PGO=1' in the client.mk compile call  (ie disable pgo)
* sendchange with branch build-system-win64-talos instead of build-system-win64-pgo-talos, same for s/talos/unittest/

[buildbot-configs] disable win64 PGO

http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/rev/b86b6b0dfe05

I'll reconfig the masters and get a m-c win64 nightly running.

A m-c nightly with PGO disabled is now out at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2012/09/2012-09-30-18-33-50-mozilla-central/

Can corroborate -> WFM, too. Win7 Professional x64, SP1

If it's of any interest, it recognized my very old profile, which includes the following extensions, just fine. Everything works.
