New Build System Status

[Gedare Bloom]

Whenever you want to merge it and fix problems reported by lazy
developers who haven't used it yet (count me in!) is fine by me. This
is the "major" activity of RTEMS-6, so it will be good to integrate it
and get everyone using it sooner than later.

Doorstop is no longer used. This simplified the YAML files a bit since no requirements related attributes are present in the build item files. The item links are now an ordered list. This simplified the build dependencies. The item paths are now also shorter since there is no longer a duplication of the directory path in the file name.
