[ANN] Support for fetching build configs from git for Android Builds

[Paul Sokolovsky]

Hello,

As the result of implementation of
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/+spec/build-config-in-git ,
android-build.linaro.org now can indirectly fetch build config stored
in a git repository. To achieve that, bootstrap config (as specified
in android-build.linaro.org) should contain reference to config's
repo/branch/file (configuration variables are modeled on the similar
MANIFEST_* ones), e.g.:

BUILD_CONFIG_REPO=git://git.linaro.org/people/pfalcon/android/linaro/build-configs.git
BUILD_CONFIG_BRANCH=master
BUILD_CONFIG_FILENAME=panda-ics-gcc46-tilt-tracking-blob.conf


http://android.git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=linaro/build-configs.git;a=summary
was created to store configs for the official builds in the Gerrit tree.

Sample job is available here:
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~pfalcon/git-build-config/ (it
uses personal repo as a test).
