Ship the l10n milestones

Start the release

• Submitted the releases to the ship-it dev environment
  • This started throwing ISE 500 errors, so switched to the dev-master instance instead, resubmitting the same releases there.
• Rail ran release runner, which started the release. (There were a couple of bumps related to new release runner code, but no problems related to the data submitted through the web.)
