try symbols
Engineers can kick off "try" builds in Firefox CI. This allows them to
test changes on systems other than they one they're doing development
on as well as perform other build tasks.

Try builds are ephemeral. They're helpful for a short period of time
and after that, they're not useful anymore.

Try builds upload symbols, but since the build is ephemeral, we don't
want to keep the symbols files forever and ever. Instead, Tecken
differentiates between symbols from regular builds and try builds,
stores the files in different places, and expires try build files after
30 days.
