[tor-qa] Pre-build announcement #2 for 3.6-beta-1

[Mike Perry]

Ok, Firefox 24.4.0esr was just tagged, so we're going to do another
build based on that.

Tag tbb-3.6beta1-build2 (e8b437c91d9a41b7c0517c6239edc7c947451dfc) was
just pushed to https://git.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-bundle.git.

It should once again be possible to build from non-KVM/VT machines that only
support LXC (by setting the USE_LXC=1 environment variable before
build).

'make beta' is the command you want to build this tag, run from the
gitian subdirectory in a tor-browser-bundle.git checkout on an Ubuntu
machine. Further build instructions are at:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-bundle.git/blob/HEAD:/gitian/README.build

Once we get confirmation on reproducibility (earlier commits were fine,
so we should be good), we'll begin testing.

Here's the new changelog:
