Attachment: Build Thunderbird release from esr repos, update mozconfig names

This patch should make Thunderbird release build from comm-esr17/mozilla-esr17.

It will also switch the Thunderbird esr release to use the newly created esr mozconfigs, the Thunderbird release build sticking with 'release'.

Obviously, I've not tested this but hopefully it should work.

We decided not to take this for this cycle because we don't have time to properly test it. Marking this as blocking the next set of releases, though. John, this bug is assigned to you - are you able to test it sometime in the next 6 weeks?

We'll need a patch for staging_XXXX files as well.

The mozconfig name changes landed in a separate bug.

We're building 17.0.1 based on comm-release.  In the meantime, yes, I can test this patch in staging.

Attachment: Switch comm-esr17 branch to esr mozconfigs

We tried this for 17.0.2esr but had to back out because of the branding being wrong on the resultant builds.

John: Can we get a staging run of TB 17esr from the latest default comm-esr17 revision, plus this patch on buildbot-configs?

I'll want to see the en-US plus at least one other locale for each of Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.

If we know these branding changes work, we can land them and use them going forward. We can then work on the 17.0.2 mainstream changes afterwards (or in parallel) which require some additional work as I've commented in the dependent bugs.

You'll also need to get bug 836036 fixed before trying the staging run (unless you don't run the check mozconfigs step there).

standard8: your patch looked good except for the ['sourceRepositories'][x]['name'] had to be left unchanged, otherwise no release-comm-release builders were present on the buildbot master.
I ran my staging builds with this patch in place.

That makes sense.

The staging builds look fine wrt branding as well, so I think we're good to go with this for 17.0.3.

Reopened due to bug 841550

This caused us to update the wrong release config during release runner: https://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/rev/9399f2f0e6d3

Thankfully, the esr config got re-bumped to the ESR before that release was kicked off.
