Valgrind doesn't run mochitests because it's far too slow. It
currently just runs the PGO profiling code, which is in
build/pgo/index.html. It would be good to increase the coverage --
separating the Valgrind test code from the PGO profiling code will be
easy -- but we can't do it too much otherwise the job will be too
slow. Currently it typically takes ~45 minutes and ~38 minutes of that
is build time.
