One use-case for buildman is to continually run it interactively after
each small step in a large refactoring operation. This gives more
immediate feedback than making a number of commits and then going back and
testing them. For this to work well, buildman needs to be extremely fast.
At present, a couple issues prevent it being as fast as it could be:
1) Each time buildman runs "make %_defconfig", it runs "make mrproper"
first. This throws away all previous build results, requiring a
from-scratch build. Optionally avoiding this would speed up the build, at
the cost of potentially causing or missing some build issues.
2) A build tree is created per thread rather than per board. When a thread
switches between building different boards, this often causes many files
to be rebuilt due to changing config options. Using a separate build tree
for each board would avoid this. This does put more strain on the system's
disk cache, but it is worth it on my system at least.
This commit adds two command-line options to implement the changes
described above; -I ("--incremental") turns of "make mrproper" and -P
("--per-board-out-dir") creats a build directory per board rather than per
thread.
Tested:
./tools/buildman/buildman.py tegra
./tools/buildman/buildman.py -I -P tegra
./tools/buildman/buildman.py -b tegra_dev tegra
./tools/buildman/buildman.py -b tegra_dev -I -P tegra
... each once after deleting the buildman result/work directory, and once
"incrementally" after a previous identical invocation.

This option outputs to the log file, not to the terminal. Clarify that in
the help, and add a mention of it in the README.

It is useful to be able to see CONFIG changes made by commits. Add this
feature to buildman using the -K flag so that all CONFIG changes are
reported.
The CONFIG options exist in a number of files. Each is reported
individually as well as a summary that covers all files. The output
shows three parts: green for additions, red for removals and yellow for
changes.

Normally buildman runs with 'make -s' meaning that only errors and warnings
appear in the log file. Add a -V option to run make in verbose mode, and
with V=1, causing a full build log to be created.

The site at https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/ is a convenient
repository of toolchains which can be used for U-Boot. Add a feature to
download and install a toolchain for a selected architecture automatically.
It isn't clear how long this site will stay in the current place and
format, but we should be able to rely on bug reports if it changes.

In some cases there may be multiple toolchains with the same name in the
path. Provide an option to use the full path in the CROSS_COMPILE
environment variable.
Note: Wolfgang mentioned that this is dangerous since in some cases there
may be other tools on the path that are needed. So this is set up as an
option, not the default. I will need test confirmation (i.e. that this
commit fixes a real problem) before merging it.

When building current source for a single board, buildman puts the output
in <output_dir>/current/current/<board>. Add an option to make it use
<output_dir>/<board> instead. This removes the unnecessary directories
in that case, controlled by the --no-subdirs/-N option.

try run => dry run
no nothing => do nothing
"..." => '...'
The last one is for consistency with the other option helps.

We want to be able to issue parser commands from within buildman for test
purposes. Move the parser code into its own file so we don't end up needing
the buildman and test modules to reference each other.
