allow for testing addon compatibility via powerball #11

we have thousands of addons which don't get proper test coverage. More importantly is every 6 weeks most of these addons are incompatible and we could use powerball to help.

My thoughts are: 1) query the list of addons the users have 2) query some unknown database to determine a list of test cases 3) report the results of the test cases 4) mark the addon compatible for a given platform

this would be more involved as there could be issues with addon cross compatibility. I would recommend restarting the browser is a private browsing mode with all but the one addon under test. In this mode we can flip the ignore compatibility pref and let the user go to work.
