Leah Rowe 4dbce8aef0 trees: support -d (dry run) for custom build logic
-d does the same as -b, except for actually building
anything! in effect, it does the same as -f (fetch)
except that the resulting variable assignments will
not be recursive (as with -f).

if -d is passed, configuration is still loaded, defconfig
files are still cycled through, and more importantly:

helper functions are still processed.

the grub, serprog and coreboot helper functions have
been modified to return early (zero status) if -d is
passed.

example usage:

./update trees -d coreboot x230_12mb

this would download the files, NOT build coreboot, and
NOT build the payloads.

there is one additional benefit to doing it this way:

the utils command has been removed, e.g.
./update trees -b coreboot utils default

the equivalent is now:
./update trees -d coreboot default

the overall effect of this change is that the trees script
no longer contains any project-specific logic, except for
the crossgcc build logic.

it does include some config/data mkhelper files at the top,
for serprog and coreboot, so that those variables defined in
those files can be global, but another solution to mitigate
that will also be implemented in a future commit.

the purpose of this and other revisions (in the final push
to complete lbmk audit 6 / cbmk audit 2) is to generalise as
much logic as possible, removing various ugly hacks.
