Hi all,

At the next buildbot reconfig, the meaning of the string 'mochitest-chrome'
in tryserver syntax is changing.  Previously, it was an alias which would
be translated into 'mochitest-o', the job in which mochitest-chrome is
run.  Now, it will be interpreted as a job name.

This means if you want to run mochitest-chrome on B2G emulators, you'll be
able to specify "-u mochitest-chrome".  But, if you want to run
mochitest-chrome on desktop Firefox, you'll need to specify the job name
which contains mochitest-chrome, which is "-u mochitest-o".  Specifying "-u
mochitest-chrome" on a desktop job will result in a no-op.

This should have little to no impact; trychooser produces a syntax which is
unaffected by this, and a quick look a try commits show that no one has
actually used "-u mochitest-chrome" in at least the last two weeks.

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1147586 for details.
