Gregory Szorc 069ee9c5d6 Bug 1397406 - Add a helper function to retrieve a BuildReader; r=dustin
The code for obtaining a BuildReader for evaluating moz.build files
is generic and non-trivial. We already had a custom implementation
for `mach file-info` that implemented support for Mercurial
integration. Bug 1383880 will introduce a second consumer.

So this commit factors out the "obtain a BuildReader" logic into
a reusable function on our base MozbuildObject class. This makes
it easily available to various parts of the build system and mach
commands.

As part of the change, we detect when ``.`` is being used as the
revision and verify the working directory is clean. This behavior
can be disabled via argument if unwanted. But it's useful by default
to ensure consumers aren't expecting to read uncommitted changes.

README

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
