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.

At present buildman can compare configurations between commits but the
feature is less useful than it could be. There is no summary by architecture
and changes are not reported on a per-board basis.
Correct these deficiencies so that it is possible to see exactly what is
changing for any number of boards.
Note that 'buildman -b <branch> -C' is recommended for any build where you
will be comparing configuration. Without -C the correct configuration will
not be reported since changes will often not be picked up.

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

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.

Some boards unfortunately build with warnings and it is useful to be able
to easily distinguish the warnings from the errors.
Use a simple pattern match to categorise gcc output into warnings and
errors, and display each separately. New warnings are shown in magenta (with
a w+ prefix) and fixed warnings are shown in yellow with a w- prefix.

Normally buildman operates in two passes - one to do the build and another
to summarise the errors. Add a verbose option (-v) to display build problems
as they happen. With -e also given, this will display errors too.
When building the current source tree (rather than a list of commits in a
branch), both -v and -e are enabled automatically.

We need the output options to be available in several places. It's a pain
to pass them into each function. Make them properties of the builder and
add a single function to set them up. At the same time, add a function which
produces summary output using these options.

Originally buildman had some support for building the current source tree.
However this was dropped before it was submitted, as part of the effort to
make it faster when building entire branches.

At present buildman always builds out-of-tree, that is it uses a separate
output directory from the source directory. Normally this is what you want,
but it is important that in-tree builds work also. Some Makefile changes may
break this.
Add a -i option to tell buildman to use in-tree builds, so that it is easy
to test this feature.

Normally buildman wil try to configure U-Boot for a particular board on the
first commit that it builds in a series. Subsequent commits are built
without reconfiguring which normally works. Where it doesn't, buildman
automatically reconfigures and retries.
To fully emulate the way MAKEALL works, we should have an option to disable
this optimisation.
Add a -C option to cause buildman to always reconfigure on each commit.

After a build fails buildman will reconfigure and try again, if it did not
reconfigure before the build. However it doesn't actually keep track of
whether it did reconfigure on the previous attempt.
Fix that logic to avoid a pointless rebuild. This speeds things up quite a
bit for failing builds. Previously they would always be built twice.

Generally a build failure with a particular commit cannot be fixed except
by changing that commit. Changing the commit will automatically cause
buildman to retry when you run it again: buildman sees that the commit
hash is different and that it has no previous build result for the new
commit hash.
However sometimes the build failure is due to a toolchain issue or some
other environment problem. In that case, retrying failed builds may yield
a different result.
Add a flag to retry failed builds. This differs from the force rebuild
flag (-f) in that it will not rebuild commits which are already marked as
succeeded.

There are a few make options such as BUILD_TAG which can be provided when

This tool handles building U-Boot to check that you have not broken it
with your patch series. It can build each individual commit and report
which boards fail on which commits, and which errors come up. It also
shows differences in image sizes due to particular commits.
