 A new mach bootstrap environment is created specifically for running in the context of a tests.zip.

Because there is no |mozbuild| module to work with, the mach command cannot automatically detect the firefox binary, it must be passed in via --appname. For the same reason, the mach command cannot resolve tests and automatically detect which flavors and subsuites exist in a particular directory like the in-tree version of the script does. Usage:
