Mike Hommey 217bd35159 Bug 1773223 - Make the GN processor an independent script. r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,mjf,ahochheiden
The way the processor works currently is that it relies on two different
build backends, one of which produces json files for specific
configurations, and the other which produces moz.build files from the
aggregate of all those configs.

Each of these json files is huge, and we actually don't have enough to
support all the platforms we're supposed to be supporting. Adding more
files is not enticing.

Now that we've made the first step described above work in a single pass
on a single machine (as opposed to multiple passes on multiple machines
previously), we can actually merge both steps and avoid producing the
intermediate json files altogether. This will allow to add more
configurations without having to worry about the weight of those files.

And because this all doesn't need to depend on having the first step
hooked up in the build system, we make the whole an independent script
rather than a build backend.

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).
