937416 - CNAME telemetry.mozilla.org to mozilla.github.io (GitHub Pages)

Sorry, for moving things around again. But statically hosting telemetry-dashboard on S3, suddenly seems like a lot of work and not least of all to keep updated.

And since it's just going to be a static hosting, I think github pages is a great fit.
This way people will be able to fork the telemetry-dashboard project, and get an exact
copy of what we're currently hosting.

Following [1] I think I've set everything up as needed.
We just need to point telemetry.mozilla.org to mozilla.github.io

Okay, scratch the sec-review and CNAME change.
To my surprise forking repositories with gh-pages and CNAMEs didn't work well.
And having slept on the setup, I'm realizing that I'll regret hosting on gh-pages in the long run.

So I'll just mirror the github repository on S3 with a cron job, using the existing CNAME setup.
This way I can use gh-pages as a staging area for upcoming release, that's probably even better.

 - Sorry about filing too soon, I hate to make a mess...

Btw, how do I cancel the sec-review?
