[U-Boot] [PATCH v10 0/14] 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 v10:
- Remove the directory prefix more aggressively
- Track prefixes and postfixes for warnings/errors

Changes in v9:
- Add new patch to avoid changing the order of tags
- Add new patch to set the return code to indicate build result
- Add new patch to allow make-flags variables to include '-' and '_'
- Add new patch to implement --exclude option
- Add new patch to remove the directory prefix from each error line
- Add new patch to support showing which boards caused which errors
- Add new patch to separate out display of warnings and errors
- Add new patch to fix detection of git version

Changes in v8:
- Add new patch to disable the pager in git

Changes in v7:
- Add new patch to fix the 'reverse' bug
- Remove already-applied patches from the series
- Add the deprecation message at the end of the build also
- Drop the 'colour' patch sadly

Changes in v6:
- Add new patch to fix indentation in teminal.py
- Add new patch to fix patman unit tests
- Add new patch to remove patman's -a option

Changes in v5:
- Drop patch to search for *cc instead of *gcc for the compiler
