Okay so there are two aspects here: (i) increase the build frequency
in case of problems, and (ii) send notifications when the build
state changes (from passing to failing and back).

Implementing (i) requires some hacking because I don't think
buildbot has a built-in scheduler that changes behavior based on
build status, so to keep things simple I just increased the
frequency (to four builds per day).

There is no existing functionality for (ii) either, but it was
trivial to implement and seems to be working okay.

Stefan, Yidong, is it okay to send these notifications to
emacs-devel?
