Updates for beta channel

On bug 1052412 there are three patches to generate the partial from 32.0b9 as part of the automation, which simplifies this work quite a bit.

Generate patcher and update verify config

This was done as soon as we had en-US builds for all platforms. On my laptop ...

cd <parent_of_tools_checkout, updated to tip>
export PERL5LIB="tools/lib/perl:$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5"  # need Config::General v2.44
wget http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/raw-file/FIREFOX_32_0_RELEASE/browser/locales/shipped-locales
perl tools/release/patcher-config-bump.pl -p firefox -r Firefox -v 32.0 -a 32.0 -o 32.0b9 -b 1 \
  -c tools/release/patcher-configs/mozBeta-branch-patcher2.cfg -t stage.mozilla.org -f ftp.mozilla.org \
  -d download.mozilla.org -l shipped-locales --partial-version 32.0b9 --platform linux --platform linux64 \
  --platform macosx64 --platform win32
# then some manual modifications: 
# * url in complete uses product firefox-32.0-build1-complete
# * url in <partials><31.0b9> uses firefox-32.0-build1-partial-31.0b9
# * to -> 32.0-build1
# * <32.0> block ——> <32.0-build1>, 
# ** add mar-channel-ids "mar-channel-ids   firefox-mozilla-beta,firefox-mozilla-release" (technically only needed for 33.0b1)
# ** pretty version -> 32.0 RC 1
