buildman: Add an option to just create the config

Normally buildman does a full build of a board. This includes creating the
u-boot.cfg file which contains all the configuration options. Buildman uses
this file with the -K option, to show differences in effective configuration
for each commit.

Doing a full build of U-Boot just to create the u-boot.cfg file is wasteful.
Add a -D option which causes buildman to only create the configuration. This
is enough to support use of -K and can be done much more quickly (typically
5-10 times faster).
