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 allows you to specify the directory containing the
toolchain, but not the actual toolchain prefix. If there are multiple
toolchains in a single directory, this can be inconvenient.
Add a new 'toolchain-prefix' setting to the settings file, which allows
the full prefix (or path to the C compiler) to be specified.
Update the documentation to match.

Buildman normally obtains the upstream commit by asking git. Provided that
the branch was created with 'git checkout -b <branch> <some_upstream>' then
this normally works.
When there is no upstream, we can try to guess one, by looking up through
the commits until we find a branch. Add a function to try this and print
a warning if buildman ends up relying on it.
Also update the documentation to match.

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.

Currently buildman allows a list of boards to build to be specified on the
command line. The list can include specific board names, architecture, SOC
and so on.
At present the list of boards is dealt with in an 'OR' fashion, and there
is no way to specify something like 'arm & freescale', meaning boards with
ARM architecture but only those made by Freescale. This would exclude the
PowerPC boards made by Freescale.
Support an '&' operator on the command line to permit this. Ensure that
arguments can be specified in a single string to permit easy shell quoting.

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.

A common use-case is to build all boards for a particular SoC. This can
be achieved by:
./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev tegra20
However, when the SoC is a member of a family of SoCs, and each SoC has
a different name, it would be even more useful to build all boards for
every SoC in that family. This currently isn't possible since buildman's
board selection command-line arguments are compared to board definitions
using pure string equality.
To enable this, compare using a regex match instead. This matches
MAKEALL's handling of command-line arguments. This enables:
(all Tegra)
./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev tegra
(all Tegra)
./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev '^tegra.*$'
(all Tegra20, Tegra30 boards, but not Tegra114)
./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev 'tegra[23]'

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.
