Mike Hommey ba28962c5e Bug 1853271 - Make `mach configure` prefer bootstrapped toolchains. r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,sergesanspaille,nalexander
This changes the semantics of bootstrapping substantially, but all for
the simpler.

- --disable-bootstrap now prevents bootstrapped toolchains from being used
  entirely, even if they are present.
- --enable-bootstrap still automatically downloads missing or
  out-of-date toolchains, and is still only the default when building off
  a VCS checkout of mozilla-central.
- When neither option is given on another tree than a VCS checkout of
  mozilla-central, already bootstrapped toolchains are prioritized, but
  missing toolchains are not downloaded, and outdated toolchains are not
  updated.
- --enable-bootstrap=no-update can now be used to replace the previous
  behavior of --disable-bootstrap, to avoid the automatic update of
  already bootstrapped toolchains, with the difference that missing
  toolchains are still automatically bootstrapped.

This has the downside of making the semantics of the per-toolchain
opt-in/opt-out mechanics introduced in bug 1828027 kind of confusing,
but I'm keeping reworking that, or entirely removing it for a followup.
