tools build: Add new build support

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
