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 v6:
- Add new patch to remove patman's -a option
- Add new patch to fix patman unit tests
- Add new patch to fix indentation in teminal.py
- Add new patch to fix the spelling of 'colour'
- Add new patch to avoid using --no-decorate when not available
- Add new patch to move 'git log' command into a function
- Add new patch to implement -c option

Changes in v5:
- Drop patch to search for *cc instead of *gcc for the compiler
- Add new patch to add an 'and' operator for board selection
- Update test for verbose option
- Update test for output options

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

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

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