With the introduction of WebExtension for Adblock Plus for Firefox, we want the release automation to create builds for Firefox as well

Enable releaseAutomation.py to create a release build for Firefox and to add it to the downloads repository
Enable build.py to accept the action release for the platform gecko
Enable build.py and releaseAutomation.py to create releases for multiple platforms at a time.
Let releaseAutomation.py create only one source package for all supported WebExtension platforms
Disallow the release of a package for a platform with a lower version number than already was released
Disallow the re-release (same version number) with differing target platforms.

This should have no impact on the builds at all.
You can run "python build.py release -h" to get a list of possible and required parameters in order to run the release
In order to safely test the release automation, you will need to follow these steps.
