We have a module called 'board'. Sometimes buildman uses 'brd' as an
instance variable but sometimes it uses 'board', which is confusing and
can mess with the module handling. Update the code to use 'brd'
consistently, making it easier for tools to determine when the module
is being referenced.

Add a -a option to specify changes to the config before the build
commences. For example
buildman -a ~CONFIG_CMDLINE
disables CONFIG_CMDLINE before doing the build.
This makes it easier to try things out as well as to write tests without
creating a new board or manually manging the .config file.

At present buildman does not write any output (to the 'out' and 'err)
files if the build terminates with a fatal error. This is to avoid adding
lots of spam to the logs.
However there are times when this is actually useful, such as when the
build fails for an obscure reason such as a Kconfig loop.
Update the logic to always write the output, so that the user gets a clue

Avoid this by using bytes for the environment, both internal to buildman

Buildman reuses build directories from previous builds to avoid the cost
of 'make mrproper' for every build. If the previous build produced an SPL
image but the current one does not, the SPL image will remain and buildman
will think it is a result of building the current board.
Remove these files before building, to avoid this problem.

At present buildman does not write its own output files (err, done, the
environment) when using -w. However this is useful for when the build is
run with -s to check it.
In fact ProduceResultSummary() reads the result from those files rather
than using the 'result' info directly. So ProcessResult() does not work
with -w at present. It does not print any output.
Fix this by writing output files even when -w is used.

At present the environment used by U-Boot is written to the 'env'
directory. This is fine when the output directory is not the same as the
source directory, but when it is (as with -w) it conflicts with the source

At present buildman defaults to running 'mrproper' on every thread before
it starts building commits for each board. This can add a delay of about 5
seconds to the start of the process, since the tools and other invariants
must be rebuilt.
In particular, a build without '-b', to build current source, runs much
slower without -I, since any existing build is removed, thus losing the
possibility of an incremental build.
Partly this behaviour was to avoid strange build-system problems caused by
running 'make defconfig' for one board and then one with a different
architecture. But these problems were fixed quite a while ago.
The -I option (which disabled mrproper) was introduced four years ago and
does not seem to cause any problems with builds.
So make -I the default and deprecate the option. To allow use of
'mrproper', add a new -m flag.

The 'done' files created by buildman may end up being empty if buildman

When the U-Boot base directory happens to have the same name as the branch

directory is specified with '-o', buildman happily starts removing the
whole U-Boot sources eventually only stopped with the error message:
OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '../<branch-name>/boards.cfg
Add a check to avoid this and also deal with the case where '-o' points
to the source directory, or any subdirectory of it.
Finally, tidy up the confusing logic for removing the old tree when using
-b. This is only done when building a branch.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

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).

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.

When told to keep outputs, be much more liberal in what files we keep.
In addition to adding 'MLO', keep anything that matches u-boot-spl.* (so
that we keep the map file as well) and anything we generate about
'u-boot itself. A large number of bootable formats now match this and
thus it's easier to build many targets and then boot them afterwards
using buildman.

At present buildman tries to detect an aborted build and doesn't record a
result in that case. This is to make sure that an abort (e.g. with Ctrl-C)
does not mark the build as done. Without this option, buildman would never
retry the build unless -f/-F are provided. The effect is that aborting the
build creates 'fake errors' on whatever builds buildman happens to be
working on at the time.
Unfortunately the current test is not reliable and this detection can
trigger if a required toolchain tool is missing. In this case the toolchain
problem is never reported.
Adjust the logic to continue processing the build result, mark the build as
done (and failed), but with a return code which indicates that it should be
retried.
The correct fix is to fully and correctly detect an aborted build, quit
buildman immediately and not write any partial build results in this case.
Unfortunately this is currently beyond my powers and is left as an exercise
for the reader (and patches are welcome).

When a build is to be performed, buildman checks to see if it has already
been done. In most cases it will not bother trying again. However, it was
not reading the return code from the 'done' file, so if the result was a
failure, it would not be counted. This depresses the 'failure' count stats
that buildman prints in this case.
