The current build framework fails to cope with header file removal. The
reason is that the removed header file stays in the .cmd file target
rule and forces the build to fail.
This issue is fixed and explained in the following patches.
Adding a new build test that simulates header removal.

It's sometimes useful to specify the object affiliation to multiple
config options like:
libperf-$(CONFIG_X86) += tsc.o
libperf-$(CONFIG_AUXTRACE) += tsc.o
while the object itself is linked only once. Adding the support for this
and ignoring duplicate objects in the object list.

Allow nesting into directories without Build file. Currently we force
include of the Build file, which fails the build when the Build file is
missing.
We already support empty *-in.o' objects if there's nothing in the
directory to be compiled, so we can just use it for missing Build file
cases.
Also adding this case under tests.

Adding new build framework into 'tools/build' to be used by tools.
There's no change for actual building at this point, it comes in the
next patches.
The idea and more details are explained in the
'tools/build/Documentation/Build.txt' file.
I adopted everything from the kernel build system, with some changes to
allow for multiple binaries build definitions.
While the kernel's build output is single image (forget modules) we need
to be able to build several binaries/libraries.
The basic idea is that sser provides 'Build' files with objects
definitions like:
perf-y += a.o
perf-y += b.o
libperf-y += c.o
libperf-y += d.o
and the build framework outputs files:
perf-in.o # a.o, b.o compiled in
libperf-in.o # c.o, d.o compiled in
