buildman: Incorporate the genboardscfg.py tool
Bring this tool into buildman, so we don't have to run it separately. The board.cfg file is still produced as part of the build, to save time when doing another build in the same working directory. If it is out of date with respect to the Kconfig, it is updated. Time to regenerate on a recent single-thread machine is 4.6s (1.3s on a 32-thread machine), so we do need some sort of cache if we want buildman to be useful on incremental builds. We could use Python's pickle format but: - it seems useful to allow boards.cfg to be regenerated, at least for a while, in case other tools use it - it is possible to grep the file easily, e.g. to find boards which use a particular SoC (similar to 'buildman -nv <soc>' Signed-off-by:Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Suggested-by:
