Tracemonkey builds

[Steve Fink]

By switching off of the tracemonkey tree, we lost the special builds
that Paul Biggar set up (fatal warnings, --disable-methodjit, etc.)

Since the current state of that tree is of no use, I did a dummy merge
from mozilla-inbound and pushed it. Unsurprisingly, it's burning from
warnings. Please keep an eye on
http://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=TraceMonkey as I intend to set up some
automated pushes as a poor man's way of getting those test builds back.
And we need to fix the current burning; the warnings are creeping back in.

Specifically, I did

hg pull <mozilla-inbound>
hg merge -t internal:other

That means to take the mozilla-inbound changesets and merge them into
the tracemonkey tip, only the "merge" actually just discards everything
in the tracemonkey tip in favor of what came from mozilla-inbound.

Maybe I should be using mozilla-central instead, or the last green
changeset from m-c, or something. I'll worry about that when it becomes
a problem.

If we later decide to start using our own tree again, I would recommend
cloning a new tree from mozilla-central and naming it 'spidermonkey',
discarding what is currently TM.

Yeah, we should file a bug with releng to get those back. Same with a
js-only tbpl feed.
