Performance (3rd/4th Monday)

dzAlerts

• Added summary test to each Talos test suite (geometric mean of all tests in suite)
• Fix links in B2G mails, and other formatting issues in general.
• Stood up public ES with Talos test results: http://people.mozilla.org/~klahnakoski/talos/Alert-Talos.html (used in alert emails to view page-level test results) - it has lots of room for improvement.
