[PATCH 0/2] Capture command-line builds which fail due to bad targets

[Elliot Smith <elliot.smith@intel.com>]

Toaster currently can't catch build failures which are due to bad targets (e.g.
"bitbake ecky-thump"), as the bitbake run doesn't reach the BuildStarted
event in these cases.

Add a new BuildInit event which fires as soon as buildTargets() or buildFile()
is invoked, and make the build object at this point. When BuildStarted fires,
collect layer information, build variables etc. as previously.

Backwards-compatibility is maintained for jethro by still making a build object
on BuildStarted events. jethro builds which fail early will therefore not be
captured by the new code, but existing functionality should not be broken either.

To test:

1. Start Toaster.
2. On the command-line, run a build with a bad target like "bitbake ecky-thump".
3. The build should register as a failure on the "all builds" page.
