There is suspicion this causes a deadlock for reasons so far unclear.
See also GH issue #319.

In particular, this can be used to make sure no other recipe is being
executed in parallel with the caller.

This option has the effect of loading all the subdirectory buildfiles that
are not explicitly included.

This is used by bpkg to detect forwarded configurations without incurring
the full context creation overhead.

We used to backlink ad hoc group members both via the group and as individual
members. And for explicit groups it was done only via individual members,
which means it only works correctly if every member is individually updated.
Now both types of groups are backlinked from the group target.

Unlike normal and ad hoc prerequisites, a post hoc prerequisite is built
after the target, not before. It may also form a dependency cycle together
with normal/ad hoc prerequisites. In other words, all this form of dependency
guarantees is that a post hoc prerequisite will be built if its dependent
target is built.
See the NEWS file for details and an example.

Now unqualified variables are project-private and can be typified.
|
|
We have patterns only for the public variables pool.
|
|
We still always use the public var_pool from context but where required,
all access now goes through scope::var_pool().

|
These options can be used to understand which dependency chain causes matching
or execution of a particular target.

Note that the unmatch (match but do not update) and match (update during
match) values are only supported by certain rules (and potentially only for
certain prerequisite types).
Additionally:
- All operation-specific variables are now checked for false as an override
for the prerequisite-specific include value. In particular, this can now be
used to disable a prerequisite for update, for example:
./: exe{test}: update = false
- The cc::link_rule now supports the update=match value for headers and ad hoc
prerequisites. In particular, this can be used to make sure all the library
headers are updated before matching any of its (or dependent's) object
files.

This can be achieved with prerequisite-specific install=true, for example:
exe{foo}: exe{bar}: install = true # foo runs bar

Our current semantics is to clean any prerequisites that are in the same
project (root scope) as the target and it may seem more natural to rather only
clean prerequisites that are in the same base scope. While it's often true for
simple projects, in more complex cases it's not unusual to have common
intermediate build results (object files, utility libraries, etc) reside in
the parent and/or sibling directories. With such arrangements, cleaning only
in base (even from the project root) may leave such intermediate build results
laying around (since there is no reason to list them as prerequisites of any
directory aliases). So we clean in the root scope by default but now any
target-prerequisite relationship can be marked not to trigger a clean with the
clean=false prerequisite-specific value.

The implemented solution entails shadowing old phase queues so that helpers
don't pick up old phase tasks and boosting the max_threads count so that we
can create more helpers if all the existing ones are stuck in the old phase.

While we could automatically set it if the target is imported, there is
nothing we can do if the target is used in the same project. So to avoid
confusion we make it mandatory.

Specifically, now config.<tool> (like config.cli) is handled by the import
machinery (it is like a shorter alias for config.import.<tool>.<tool>.exe
that we already had). And the cli module now uses that instead of custom
logic.
This also adds support for uniform tool metadata extraction that is handled by
the import machinery. As a result, a tool that follows the "build2 way" can be
imported with metadata by the buildfile and/or corresponding module without
any tool-specific code or brittleness associated with parsing --version or
similar outputs. See the cli tool/module for details.
Finally, two new flavors of the import directive are now supported: import!
triggers immediate importation skipping any rule-specific logic while import?
is optional import (analogous to using?). Note that optional import is always
immediate. There is also the import-specific metadata attribute which can be
specified for these two import flavors in order to trigger metadata
importation. For example:
import? [metadata] cli = cli%exe{cli}
if ($cli != [null])
info "cli version $($cli:cli.version)"
