Bug#813054: firefox: contains JSHint work under non-free licence

[Carsten Schoenert]

Control: tags -1 pending

Dear FTP Team,

could you please remove the marked icedove versions from the archive?
As Ben pointed out these packages and source tarballs contain non-free
stuff by the shipped jshint.js file.
We expanded the filtering for that file starting in preparation for
version 43.0b1. So at least since icedove/43.0~b1-1 we don't include
that file within the repacked tarball.
