[tor-talk] Tor Browser Bundle 3.0alpha1 test builds

[Micah Lee]

This is awesome! Can you fix a typo in this file?
https://check.torproject.org/RecommendedTBBVersions

It says:

[
"2.3.25-8-MacOS",
"2.3.25-8-Windows",
"2.3.25-8-Linux",
"2.3.25-9-Linux",
"2.4.12-alpha-2-MacOS",
"2.4.12-alpha-2-Windows",
"2.4.12-alpha-2-Linux"
"3.0-alpha-1-Linux"
"3.0-alpha-1-MacOS"
"3.0-alpha-1-Windows"
]

There missing commas at the end of the array. I tried updating to
3.0alpha1 with Tor Browser Launcher but it failed parsing
RecommendedTBBVersions.
