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

[Mike Perry]

As we discussed at the dev meeting, we're going to try doing pre-build
announcements of releases, to give people time to be aware that we will
need some testing help soon, and so that interested people can try building
a given tag early, to verify reproducibility.

Tag tbb-3.6beta1-build1 (fb9453c51306ad39d261617e2cb3ba8e18368574) 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.

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

Here's the Changelog (changes from 3.5.2.1):
