[PATCH][v2] Create Build object earlier in bitbake processing (cover letter)

[Elliot Smith]

v2: fix fixtures for unit tests which broke because of build_name being removed

v1: see https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/toaster/2016-February/003837.html

To capture command-line build failures earlier, add an additional event to
the bitbake XMLRPC server which fires just before the buildTargets command
is run. This event contains the target and task information required by
Toaster for annotating a build so that it displays correctly in the "recent
builds" page fragment. Toaster can then capture builds which fail very early
in the build process (e.g. due to bitbake misconfiguration or bad targets) and
display them intelligibly.

To test, try the following on the command line:

1. Set an invalid MACHINE in conf/local.conf and do a build of a valid target, e.g. bitbake zlib.
2. Set an invalid DISTRO in conf/local.conf and do a build of a valid target, e.g. bitbake zlib.
3. Try to build an invalid target, e.g. bitbake zzz.

In all cases, the "all builds" pages should show the failed command line builds. Note that fixing bug 8443 will improve how we show these early failed builds.
