This moves all the reading mozconfig, finding autoconf, refreshing the
old configure, and running the old configure into sandboxed
moz.configure. This effectively bootstraps the sandboxed python configure.
This adds a format option to mach environment and uses it in client.mk to
create a .mozconfig.json in the objdir, containing all the relevant data
from mozconfig. If the mozconfig doesn't change in a way that alters that
data, we still skip configure.
At the same time, use mach environment in place of mozconfig2configure and
mozconfig2client-mk, which makes us now have only one mozconfig reader.
Also, in the mozconfig reader, keep track of environment variables (as
opposed to shell variables), so that changes such as a variable that was
exported not being exported anymore is spotted. At the opposite, in order
for irrelevant environment variable changes not to incur in re-running
configure, only a set of environment variables are stored when they are
unmodified. Otherwise, changes such as using a different terminal window,
or even rebooting, would trigger reconfigures.
Finally, make mach environment emit both MOZ_OBJDIR and OBJDIR for
client.mk, and cleanup some objdir-related things in client.mk..
At the same time, make the mozconfig reader take MOZ_OBJDIR from the
environment if it is defined there and not in the mozconfig.
