Update the correct config

Because of bug 815302 we updated the wrong release config. To fix:

• bumped the config by hand in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=714542&action=edit.
• landed and retagged with THUNDERBIRD_17_0_3_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
• ran release sanity:

# cltbld@buildbot-master36
cd /builds/buildbot/build_scheduler/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum -V 17.0.3 --branch comm-esr17 --build-number 1 --release-config release-thunderbird-comm-release.py --skip-reconfig --bypass-l10n-dashboard-check --bypass-check localhost:9301

• reconfiged the build + scheduler masters by hand
• reran release sanity to start the release:

# cltbld@buildbot-master36
cd /builds/buildbot/build_scheduler/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum -V 17.0.3 --branch comm-esr17 --build-number 1 --release-config release-thunderbird-comm-release.py --skip-reconfig --bypass-l10n-dashboard-check localhost:9301

Disable pymake

win32 build failed because it tried to use pymake, which isn't supported on Gecko 17 bug 841898. FIXME - why didn't this get caught in pre-release builds? Does Thunderbird-Release not build the same thing that we're going to release with?

Landed the patches from that bug, retagged buildbot-configs and buildbotcustom, reconfiged build masters, and then used "rebuild" to restart the win32 build.
