Kris Maglione b795c79039 Bug 1545583: Remove unnecessary packages from ArchLinux bootstrap script. r=nalexander
This patch removes the packages which are obviously unnecessary, either
because they're entirely unused (e.g., imake), or because they're built
in-tree (e.g., nss, icu, hunspell) by default.

xorg-server-xvfb is arguably also not necessary, but is probably useful enough
to keep. Some of the others I'm unsure about, so I've left as well.

mozboot - Bootstrap your system to build Mozilla projects
=========================================================

This package contains code used for bootstrapping a system to build
mozilla-central.

This code is not part of the build system per se. Instead, it is related
to everything up to invoking the actual build system.

If you have a copy of the source tree, you run:

    python bin/bootstrap.py

If you don't have a copy of the source tree, you can run:

    curl https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py | python -

The bootstrap script will download everything it needs from hg.mozilla.org
automatically!
