Fixes: #69548
Support extending an existing board with new board variants.
This commit introduces the following changes to allow a board to be
extended out-of-tree.
The board yaml schema is extended to support an extend field which
will be used to identify the board to be extended.
A board 'plank' can be extended like this:
> board:
> extend: plank
> variants:
> - name: ext
> qualifier: soc1
For the rest of the build system this means that there is no longer a
single board directory.
The existing CMake variable BOARD_DIR is kept and reference the
directory which defines the board.
A new CMake variable BOARD_DIRECTORIES provides a list of all
directories which defines board targets for the board.
This means the directory which defines the board as well as all
directories that extends the board.

Disables allowing the python argparse library from automatically
shortening command line arguments, this prevents issues whereby
a new command is added and code that wrongly uses the shortened
command of an existing argument which is the same as the new
command being added will silently change script behaviour.

Add a new --check-missing-config-prefix check that looks for references
like
#if MACRO
#if(n)def MACRO
defined(MACRO)
IS_ENABLED(MACRO)
where MACRO is the name of a defined Kconfig symbol but doesn't have a
CONFIG_ prefix. Could be a typo.
Skip MACRO if it is #define'd somewhere, even if it looks like a Kconfig
symbol.
Found e.g. https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/22195.
Piggyback skipping binary files when grepping for Kconfig symbol
references.

If the working directory for a command was missing (usually due to
forgetting to run 'west update'), you'd get a FileNotFoundError
exception along with a cryptic error like
'git' not found
Only catch OSError instead (which is a base class of FileNotFoundError),
and always show the exception message. It makes it clear that it's the
working directory that's missing.
Add some other misc. improvements too:
- Turn stderr output from external commands into a warning instead of
an error
- Add err() and warn() helpers
- Include the command name in messages

Update Kconfiglib to upstream revision 9c0b562c94 to get this commit in:
Add Kconfig.__init__() helper flag for suppressing tracebacks
Tools that don't use standard_kconfig() currently generate spammy
tracebacks for e.g. syntax errors.
Add a suppress_traceback flag to Kconfig.__init__() for catching
"expected" exceptions and printing them to stderr and exiting with
status 1. Use it to make all tools consistently hide tracebacks.
Use the new flag to hide tracebacks for expected exceptions in
kconfig.py, lint.py, and genrest.py.
Some menuconfig robustness tweaks for wonky terminals are included as
well, and a new feature for customizing .config and autoconf.h header
comments via environment variables.

Add a cleaned-up version of a script I used to find a bunch of unused
symbols and some other Kconfig issues. It's set up to be run directly,
with few environment dependencies.
West is required, because the checks need to see Kconfig files and
source code from all modules.
Checks so far:
- Symbols that can never be anything but n/empty
- Symbols that look unused
- menuconfig symbols with empty menus
- Symbols only defined in Kconfig.defconfig files
See the help strings for the command-line flags for more information.
Some of these checks could probably be checked in CI later, though the
always-n and unused-symbol checks are a bit heuristic and might need a
lot of whitelisting.
Another reason I want to get this in is to have a clean standalone
reference for how to set up the environment for parsing the Kconfig
files. It's gotten trickier over time.
