tests/frontend/buildtrack.py: check for success after invocation

Previously the result of the first call in test_build_track was not
checked to be successful, which would lead to potential erros later on
that were hard to debug.

Let's check it everytime

Fix os.rename in git source element to correctly handle error codes

According to the documentation
(https://www.unix.com/man-page/POSIX/3posix/rename/), when the directory
already is there, either EEXIST or ENOTEMPTY could be thrown.

Previously only ENOTEMPTY was checked.

Done:
  - Separated the move into its own function
  - Check for both errors
  - Create unit tests for it, covering most test cases

Extract atomic move function to utils.py

Moving atomically a file/directory can be tricky since different
errors might be raised for the same underlying problem.

Having a utility function to reduce this discrepancies will help
in ensuring we have correct behavior

sources/pip.py: Use move_atomic instead of manual os.rename

This uses move_atomic insteand of the manual os.rename and manual error
checking and throws a SourceError for consistency with other modules.

buildstream/_pipeline.py: Simplify error message for assert_consistent()

Currently, `Pipeline.assert_consistent()` prints an error message like
the one below when certain elements have inconsistent sources:

```
...
      Element: hello.bst is inconsistent
        Source tar source at hello.bst [line 16 column 2] is missing ref
...
```

Drop the word "Source" from the beginning of the message as
"Source <source-kind> source ..." is kind of awkward to read.

Add `bst source-checkout` command

As discussed in
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/buildstream-list/2018-September/msg00064.html,
add `bst source-checkout` command. This will allow users to checkout
sources for a given target.

* _frontend/cli.py: Add source-checkout command
* _pipeline.py: Add assert_sources_cached() method
* _stream.py: Add source_checkout method, abstract out
  __check_location_writable() method that used to part of checkout()

plugins/elements/cmake.yaml: always specify variable types

cmake sometimes misinterprets relative paths as relative to the current directory
if this is not specified. See freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk#431

adjust tests/format/variables.py accordingly.

Don't cache sandbox errors

Sandbox errors (like missing host tools) are dependent on the host
system and rarely on what is actually done.

It is therefore better to not cache them as they are subject to
change between two runs.

Also add test to ensure sandbox failure are not cached

element.py: Only cache on element error or success

Reverse the way we were handling caching by only caching
when we know it's a problem with the build or the build is a
success in order not to cache transient errors.

CasBasedDirectory: Change constructor to take a CASCache instead of a Context

The Context was only used to obtain a reference to the CASCache
and set the unused cas_directory field.

tests/testutils/artifactshare.py: Do not create a fake context

The fake context did not set the cache quota, triggering an error. With
CASCache now separate from ArtifactCache, we can instantiate a CASCache
without context.

_context: allow 'terminate' for scheduler.on-error

Enable this option of 'terminate', which is mentioned in userconfig.yaml
and handled in _frontend/app.py:_handle_failure(). It appears to have
been left out of the valid_actions as an oversight.

Originally introduced in

_context: refactor, extract _node_get_option_str

Use a new helper function to simplify working with nodes that can only
accept certain strings. This will be used when adding the prompt.*
config options.

In later work we can see if this function would be useful elsewhere, and
could be added to '_yaml.py'.

Add prompt.auto-init buildstream.conf option

Provide an option in buildstream.conf to disable the 'Would you like to
...' prompt when we cannot resolve a project.

Some users prefer not to be interrupted by such prompts, so pave the way
to creating options to disable all those that might get in the way.

Follow the example of the advice.* options 'git-config', and create a
namespace for these UI options grouped by behaviour, rather than an
over-reaching 'ui.*' namespace. In later work perhaps we'll also add
'advice.*' options.

Add a NEWS item for this.

- Add prompt.really-workspace-reset-hard
