[Buildroot] [PATCHv2 buildroot-test 00/11] autobuild-run improvements

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <thomas.de.schampheleire at gmail.com>

This series against the buildroot-test repo makes some improvements to the
autobuild-run script. The changes that matter to me most are the support for
make-opts and a custom git wrapper, as I need this in order to run
autobuild-run in a corporate environment.

However, the series also includes some other changes:
- introduction of docopt to simplify the addition of new arguments/options
- general improvements to the script

v2:
- reorder patches
- take into account comments on boolean logic in first patch
- place docopt directly in scripts/ instead of in a subdirectory
- remove patch adding --git (Yann, Thomas)
- some bug fixes in the first version of the patches

As you can see, v2 still has the docopt patches. Thomas Petazzoni has
expressed his reservations against the introduction of docopt, because the
benefits wouldn't weigh out against the addition of an external Python module.
Thomas told me on IRC he would have a deeper look onto this before making a
final decision.
In case the final decision is not to introduce docopt, following improvements
could be done to the current code:
  - save the arguments from the command-line into a dictionary instead of plain
    variables
  - keep the added ini_config() method to also save the options in a dictionary,
    and use the added merge() method to merge both arguments and config options
    into one final configuration, without needing to handle it manually.
