[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 0/13] Add some missing buildman features and deprecate MAKEALL

Buildman has been around for a little over a year and is used by a fair
number of U-Boot developers. However quite a few people still use MAKEALL.

Buildman was intended to replace MAKEALL, so perhaps now is a good time to
start that process.

The reasons to deprecate MAKEALL are:
- We don't want to maintain two build systems
- Buildman is typically faster
- Buildman has a lot more features

This series adds a few features to buildman to fill some gaps, adds some
information into the README on how to migrate from MAKEALL, and adds a
deprecation message to MAKEALL.

Changes in v4:
- Fix missing import in builder.py
- Fix typo in commit message
- Add new patch to remove unused non-incremental build method code
- Add new patch to allow the config file to be specified
- Add new patch to show a message when there are no errors
- Add new patch to search for *cc instead of *gcc
- Add new path to add a few more toolchain examples to the README

Changes in v3:
- Add new patch to build current source tree
- Add new patch to move BuilderThread code to its own file
- Add new patch to sort command line options
- Add new patch to refactor output options
- Add new patch to add a verbose option

Changes in v2:
- Add new patch to fix existing typos
- Minor changes to the text
