At present even if only a single thread is in use, buildman still uses
threading.

For some debugging it is helpful to do everything in the main process.
Allow -T0 to support this.

It is interesting to note the number of builds completed per second to
track machine performance and build speed. Add a 'rate' value at the end
of the build to show this.

It is a bad idea to use the default output directory ('..') with -w since
it does a build in that directory and writes various files these.

Require that -o is given to avoid this problem.

The current exit codes of 128 and 129 are useful in that they do not
conflict with those returned by tools, but they are not actually valid.
It seems better to pick some codes which work with 'bit bisect run'.

Update them to 100 (for errors) and 101 (for warnings).

A few of these have been done. Drop those and add some new ideas.

These are becoming more common now. They cause boards to show warnings
which can be mistaking for compiler warnings.

Add a buildman option to ignore them. This option works only with the
summary option (-s). It does not affect the build process.

Unfortunately the plague of device-tree warnings has not lifted. These
warnings infiltrate almost every build, adding noise and confusion.

Add a buildman option to ignore them. This option works only with the
summary option (-s). It does not affect the build process.

At present buildman defaults to running 'mrproper' on every thread before
it starts building commits for each board. This can add a delay of about 5
seconds to the start of the process, since the tools and other invariants
must be rebuilt.

In particular, a build without '-b', to build current source, runs much
slower without -I, since any existing build is removed, thus losing the
possibility of an incremental build.

Partly this behaviour was to avoid strange build-system problems caused by
running 'make defconfig' for one board and then one with a different
architecture. But these problems were fixed quite a while ago.

The -I option (which disabled mrproper) was introduced four years ago and
does not seem to cause any problems with builds.

So make -I the default and deprecate the option. To allow use of
'mrproper', add a new -m flag.

Make a few additions and change some wording in the workflow
documentation.

This option may be frequency used, so mention that it can be abbreviated
to --bo
