Gregory Szorc ec7a8780bf Bug 784841 - Part 2: Implement sandboxing for Python build files; r=ted,glandium
This is the beginning of Mozilla's new build system.

In this patch, we have a Python sandbox tailored for execution
of Python scripts which will define the build system. We also have a
build reader that traverses a linked set of scripts.

More details are available in the thorough README.rst files as part of
this patch.

Bug 784841 - Part 2b: Option to not descend into child moz.build files; r=ted

..

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:

* 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).
