Bug 1223149 - Add basic usage documentation for mach build; r=glandium

Support for displaying docstrings in `mach help` was added relatively
recently. `mach build` was never documented. Let's document it.

There are a gazillion things we could put in the documentation. For now,
mainly focus on targets.
