When appending properties, it may be necessary to determine if two
property structs are the same "type". A simple Go type comparison is
not sufficient, as there may be interface{} values in the property
structs that contain different types. Add proptools.TypeEqual that
returns true if they have equal types and all embedded pointers to
structs and interfaces to pointers to structs have the same nilitude and
type.
Add tests for CloneProperties, CloneEmptyProperties and ZeroProperties
and fix detected bugs related to nil pointers to structs and interfaces
containing nil pointers to structs.
It is common for a mutator to append or prepend property structs
together. Add helper functions to append or prepend properties in property
structs. The append operation is defined as appending string and slices
of strings normally, OR-ing bool values, and recursing into embedded
structs, pointers to structs, and interfaces containing pointers to
structs. Appending or prepending the zero value of a property will
always be a no-op.
This removes the need to use $OLDPWD when running tests, which means
that the builddir may be an absolute or relative directory. It also
filters out the "PASS" message on successful test runs to clean up our
output.

Now that we have multi-stage bootstrapping, we can make the primary
builder build more dynamic. Add the concept of plugins that will be
linked and loaded into bootstrap_go_binary or bootstrap_go_package
modules. It's expected that the plugin's init() functions will do
whatever registration is necessary.
Example Blueprint definition:
bootstrap_go_binary {
name: "builder",
...
}
bootstrap_go_package {
name: "plugin1",
pluginFor: ["builder"],
}
A package may specify more than one plugin if it will be inserted into
more than one go module.

This splits the current bootstrap stage into two stages:
A bootstrap stage, which like today, a reference is checked into the
tree. It just builds the "core" blueprint binaries -- minibp,
gotestmain, and choosestage. Just enough to build the next stage's ninja
file.
A primary builder stage. This builds the primary builder, the main ninja
file, and any other bootstrap binaries (bpfmt, etc).
The main advantage here is that the checked in file really only contains
references to blueprint -- not the primary builder. This will allow us
to make the primary builder more dynamic, by loading more module types
that may or may not exist in all trees.
It's even possible to reuse the build.ninja.in in the blueprint repo
directly now. We don't currently do that, since we still want to turn on
tests.

This simplifies the bootstrap process while making it more flexible by
moving the stage selection into a go binary(choosestage). It will now be
possible to have more than two build stages.
Now each stage has a ninja template(main.ninja.in) and a timestamp
file(main.ninja.in.timestamp). The timestamp file may be updated by any
build stage that wishes to regenerate the ninja template. If the
choosestage binaries sees that the timestamp is newer than the template,
it will choose the prior stage.
The main stage no longer writes to the source tree to update the
build.ninja.in file. This was a problem for read-only source trees.
Instead, the choosestage binary first checks to see if that file is
newer than the last bootstrap.ninja.in, copies it in place, and starts
the boostrap stage.
The bootstrap stage regenerates it's own ninja template, but that
required a loop through the main stage to actually run it. The
choosestage binary now detects if the template has changed for the
current stage, and will restart the stage.
One change is that if dependencies do get messed up, instead of silently
failing, there's a higher chance that the bootstrap step will just
continue looping, doing nothing. This can happen if the main stage
has a dependency that triggers the bootstrap stage, but the bootstrap
stage doesn't see anything required to rebuild the main ninja file. A
side effect of this requirement is that changes to test code will now
rebuild the main ninja file.

The primary builder will now generate a rule to call itself with
--docs=.bootstrap/docs/<name>.html to produce an automatically
generated documentation file.
The documentation generation process is:
- Call each factory once to get empty property structs associated
with the module type
- Use reflection to determine the names of the type of each property
struct
- Use the bootstrap_go_package modules from reading the Blueprints files
to find the source files for each Go package used to build the primary
builder
- Use the go/parser module to find the type declaration for each
property struct
- Extract comments for the property struct and each property declaration
- Format all the comments into HTML

Users that want to enable this option can use the '-t' option to
bootstrap.bash when passing '-r'. Builders that want to enable this can
set the RUN_TESTS environment variable in their bootstrap.bash.
The gotestmain tools is needed to write the main functions for the test
binaries, since 'go test' doesn't work well in this environment.

Make integrating with go tools easier by putting the blueprint package
files in the top level directory of the git project instead of in a
subdirectory called blueprint.

bpmodify can be used to add or remove dependencies or other strings
from selected modules in Blueprint files.

This change makes the bootstrapping process remove any files that were
previously created by invoking a Ninja rule (i.e. they appear in the .ninja_log
file) but are no longer a build output target.

This change replaces the automatic caller package divination with a
PackageContext object that must be explicitly passed in by callers.

Blueprint is a build system component that reads Blueprints files defining
modules to be built, and generates a Ninja build manifest that can be used to
perform all the build actions. It does not dictate or implement much build
policy itself, but rather provides a framework to ease the process of defining
build logic in Go.
The "blueprint" and "blueprint/parser" Go packages contain the functionality
for reading Blueprint files and invoking build logic functions defined in other
Go packages.
The "blueprint/bootstrap" Go package contains just enough build logic to build
a binary that includes Blueprint and any pure-Go (i.e. no cgo) build logic
defined in external Go packages. This can be used to create a minimal Ninja
file that's capable of bootstrapping a Blueprint-based build system from
source.
The "blueprint/bootstrap/minibp" Go package contains code for a minimal binary
that includes the build logic defined in the "blueprint/bootstrap" package.
This binary can then create the Ninja file for the bootstrapping process.
