[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 00/11] buildman: Make the tool friendlier for first-time users

This makes a few minor improvements to buildman to make it work more easiler
for first-time users:

- Improve progress and warning messages when fetching toolchains
- Fix a bug where toolchain paths can be overwritten when fetching
- Note at the top of the help how to get started

Also this series removes MAKEALL. Since buildman has been around for 3 years
it may be time to do this. If not, we can leave it for now.

Changes in v2:
- Add a message about how to install toolchains
- Add code to actually suppress the warning
- Glob the whole toolchain directly instead of adding separate entries
- Update to suggest fetching just the 'arm' tool chain
