This was the first time we bulk closed these bugs, and there will be some
glitches. I don't consider this to be a blocker on continuing this work.

Next time we do this, it won't be 5,000+ bugs. OrangeBot runs on Sundays,
so we can do the cleanup on Monday.

The long term goal is to stop using Bugzilla to record every intermittent
test failure and only use it for test failures we intend to address.
