mozci 0.6.0 - Trigger based on Treeherder filters, Windows support, flexible and encrypted password managament

In this release of mozci we have a lot of developer facing improvements like Windows support or flexibility on password management.
We also have our latest experimental script mozci-triggerbyfilters (http://mozilla-ci-tools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/scripts.html#triggerbyfilters-py).

How to update

Run "pip install -U mozci" to update.

Notice

We have move all scripts from scripts/ to mozci/scripts/.
Note that you can now use "pip install" and have all scripts available as mozci-name_of_script_here in your PATH.

Contributions

We want to welcome @KWierso as our latest contributor!
Our gratitude @Gijs for reporting the Windows issues and for all his feedback.
Congratulations to @parkouss for making https://github.com/parkouss/mozbattue the first project using mozci as its dependency.
In this release we had @adusca and @vaibhavmagarwal as our main and very active contributors.

Major highlights

• Added script to trigger jobs based on Treeherder filters
  • This allows using filters like --include "web-platform-tests" and that will trigger all matching builders
  • You can also use --exclude to exclude builders you don't want
• With the new trigger by filters script you can preview what will be triggered:

233 jobs will be triggered, do you wish to continue? y/n/d (d=show details) d
05/15/2015 02:58:17 INFO: The following jobs will be triggered:
 Android 4.0 armv7 API 11+ try opt test mochitest-1
 Android 4.0 armv7 API 11+ try opt test mochitest-2

• Remove storing passwords in plain-text (Sorry!)
  • We now prompt the user if he/she wants to store their password enctrypted
• When you use "pip install" we will also install the main scripts as mozci-name_of_script_here binaries
  • This makes it easier to use the binaries in any location
• Windows issues
• The python module gzip.py is uncapable of decompressing large binaries
• Do not store buildjson on a temp file and then move

Minor improvements

• Updated docs
• Improve wording when triggering a build instead of a test job
• Loosened up the python requirements from == to >=
• Added filters to alltalos.py
