Yeah, I did consider "non-e10s" for awhile and maybe it is the better
choice. But here are my counter arguments:

1) One of the goals of this change is to de-clutter the treeherder UI.
Using an 8 character symbol suffix runs counter to that goal (even if it is
still less cluttered overall).
2) People who use "e10s" in their |mach try fuzzy| queries out of muscle
memory (or in saved presets) will accidentally select the exact opposite of
what they want.
3) For new contributors "e10s" is a code word anyway. It's just now they
need to learn "fc" instead of "e10s".

None of those are terribly compelling, but it's still enough to make me
prefer "-fc".
