Change Description
Update our build build scripts and Makefile to build also Fenix, now that everything is in the same repo.
Also, I've updated the templates.
Now that we are in a monorepo we don't need to define MOZ_BUILD_DATE
, and we don't need fat AARs and to copy them to the local repo either.
How Tested
Ran make ARCH=x86_64
on my machine (as well as make fenix ARCH=x86_64
and make install ARCH=x86_64
).
