Preparing to start Automation

• Set clobbers for the appropriate masters
• Reserve slaves

 echo "10" > master/reserved_slaves_bm08-build1

• Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
• Land automation configs (are you or buildduty going to reconfig? great, merge. otherwise double-land only your configs)
• Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags
• update and reconfigure the master
• start automation

2. Document any oranges (per platform) for unittests - if possible, try to confirm it's known/random
3. Make sure there's no red/failures that we need to have a dev look at
