Description
Background
We will need to create WebExtensions builds of the adblockpluschrome repository that can be installed in Firefox. The build content is considerably different from our current gecko build type (e.g. manifest.json instead of install.rdf).
What to change
Create a new build type gecko-webext (it should be renamed to gecko once we stop building classic Gecko extensions). Given that the build is essentially an unsigned Chrome build with .xpi file extension it makes little sense creating a new packager module for it, rather extending the existing packagerChrome.py.
