We have approximately 400 TB of old files in the two directories
firefox/tinderbox-builds and mobile/tinderbox-builds on
archive.mozilla.org [1,2]. I'm suggesting it's time to remove them.

The files come from pushes into the gecko repositories when the builds &
tests were run on Buildbot. The subdirectories for mozilla-inbound and
mozilla-central go as far back as September 2015, and up to August 2017,
although the later dates may only contain test logs. Others are for
discontinued branches like b2g-inbound, graphics, and fx-team. We used a
30 day retention policy until Sep 2015, when the backend storage for
archive.m.o was migrated to AWS S3 (at that time S3 did not have the
lifecycle management feature).

As the build jobs were gradually moved to Taskcluster the artifacts
moved into the Taskcluster index, which has a retention period of 1
year. For some platforms there is now a gap between the old buildbot
files and the taskcluster ones. eg linux64 on buildbot goes up to
January 2017, and taskcluster starts at May 2017.

I'd like to remove the two tinderbox-builds directories. Please respond
if you know of any reasons we should not proceed.
