bug 826825 Remove mn, sw during beta-release migration for Firefox 18

A bug wasn't opened to remove the mn and sw locales for the release, so I removed them manually in the changesets submitted to the release runner. However, they still existed in https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/file/3a7b66445659/browser/locales/shipped-locales so relman had to fix this and issue a new changeset to us. Once this was releasesd, bhearsum retagged our repos and I reran the tagging builds that failed.
