Publish in Balrog

Set up whatsnew page

We need to remove the 'actions' and 'openURL' to remove the whatsnew after updates. Updating the blob doesn't work due to bug 1162874, so Firefox-38.0-build3 was deleted and resubmitted.

Push to mirrors

Also needed to remove rule for release-cdntest which was showing a whatsnew for these locales: en-US,en-GB,de,pt-BR,id,fr,es-ES,es-MX
