Disabled jcheck in all build-infra repos

[Kelly O'Hair]

Thanks for doing this. The server side was supposed to disable jcheck for these repos.

Did you check with John Coomes?  Or have you been given a set of golden keys to the Mercurial server area? ;^)

The disabling was done on the server by removing the directory ".jcheck" in the root of each repository, as specified in the jcheck.py header documentation.
