Embed repo URL and git revision in Firefox

We should customize MOZ_SOURCE_URL so that people will find the link to the source code we've used to generate that version of Tor Browser.

Uhm. It seems like that macro is somehow created automatically and used in a couple of places, but it cannot be set directly.

Trying with MOZ_SOURCE_REPO, MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET and MOZ_INCLUDE_SOURCE_INFO.

Uhm, it almost works, but Firefox is hardcoded to combine MOZ_SOURCE_REPO abd MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET as $MOZ_SOURCE_REPO/rev/$MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET.

We could add a patch on the branding commit to make it build GitLab URLs, instead ($MOZ_SOURCE_REPO/-/tree/$MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET).
