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.
The only append semantics for bool that result in a no-op when the zero
value is appended is to OR the two values together, but that is rarely
the desired semantics. Add support for *bool and *string as property
types, where appending a nil pointer is a no-op. For *bool, appending a
non-nil pointer replaces the destination with the value. For *string,
appending a non-nil pointer appends the value.
This also provides a more reliable replacement for
ModuleContext.ContainsProperty, as the build logic can tell that the
property was set, even if it was set by a mutator and not by the
blueprints file, by testing against nil.
[]string already provides these semantics for lists.
Setting a *bool or *string property from a blueprints file is the same
syntax as setting a bool or a string property.
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.
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

Modules that want properties that vary by variant often need to create
zeroed copies of property structs. Add CloneEmptyProperties to proptools
that is the equivalent of calling CloneProperties and then ZeroProperties,
but is much faster because it directly creates zeroed objects.
Saves 200ms in Context.ParseBlueprintsFiles and Context.ResolveDependencies
in one case, which will be valuble when we start parsing Blueprints files
for cases where we are not regenerating the manifest, for example when
generating documentation or doing context-aware bpfmt.

If proptools.CopyProperties is passed two values that point same
slice then setting the destination slice to a new slice will
overwrite the source slice, and the properties struct that is both
the source and destination will have an empty slice. Copy into
the new slice using a new reflect.Value, and then update the
destination.

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.
