Fix failed updates run

Updates failed with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tools/scripts/updates/create-snippets.py", line 39, in <module>
    pc = PatcherConfig(open(options.config).read())
  File "/builds/slave/tb-rel-c-beta-updates/tools/lib/python/release/updates/patcher.py", line 35, in __init__

    raise PatcherConfigError("No release found for version '%s'" % self['current-update']['from'])
release.updates.patcher.PatcherConfigError: No release found for version '15.0b4'

After some investigation, we realized this because the patcher-configs in the tools repo were out of date. This patch was used to update the patcher-configs. That was landed to the repository and retagged with THUNDERBIRD_15_0b5_{RELEASE,BUILD1} and "rebuild" used to get things going again.

Update verify notes

For 14.0 and earlier, we had this diff in the full checks:

diff -r source/thunderbird/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js target/thunderbird/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js
1a2,5
> /* This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public
>  * License, v. 2.0. If a copy of the MPL was not distributed with this
>  * file, You can obtain one at http://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/. */
> 
WARN: non-binary files found in diff

This is related to bug 750294 and happens because channel-prefs.js doesn't get updated through MARs. We'll see this difference for <= 14.0 -> latest in perpetuity.

For 5.0, we had a slightly different diff:

diff -r source/thunderbird/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js target/thunderbird/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js
1,2c1,6
< //@line 2 "/buildbot/linux_build_50/build/mail/app/profile/channel-prefs.js"
< pref("app.update.channel", "release");
---
> //@line 2 "/builds/slave/tb-rel-c-beta-lnx-bld/build/mail/app/profile/channel-prefs.js"
> /* This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public
>  * License, v. 2.0. If a copy of the MPL was not distributed with this
>  * file, You can obtain one at http://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/. */
> 
> pref("app.update.channel", "beta");

The channel difference is because we generated updates for 5.0 final users on the "beta" channel, so we need to generate updates to keep them coming forward. Nothing to worry about here.

Full checks on Mac for versions 13 and earlier found this additional diff:

This can be traced back to bug 698702 and bug 734734, which switched from Thunderbird.mdimporter -> thunderbird.mdimporter. The reason we see the difference in this test is because the filesystem on Mac is case-insensitive, so updates won't rename the directory.
