When installing packages with PIP, recommend --user so that it is
installed in the user's directory vs system wide, potentially
overriding system-wide files that are under package manager control
and introducing possible security issues.

Avoid overriding files in the system that shall be under package
manager control with who knows what is downloaded that day, as it can

By having this as a Python script rather than a host executable, this
should simplify the build process on non-Unix platforms.
With this change, pyelftools is now required to build Zephyr. Please
consult the getting started documentation for your host platform for
installation instructions.

MinGW is old and unsupported, and it does not even download properly
these days. Remove the instructions that rely on MinGW since they are
only confusing for people trying to build on Windows.
Signed-off-by: Carles Cufi <carles.cufi@nordicsemi.no>
Add instructions to build the DTC from Windows, note that the following
2 caveats apply:
* The flex version needs to be pinned to 2.6.0 because of a bug with the
current MSYS2 flex
* The repository to clone DTC from is currently my own on GH while
waiting for a patch to be accepted upstream
Additionally this removes the python2 requirement and adds documentation
on installing pip an pyaml.

This will replace the current goal of 'make qemu' with 'make run' and
moves Qemu handling into its own file and into the boards instead of
being architecture specific.
We should be able to add new boards that support some other type of
emulation (by adding scripts/Makefile.<emu type>) and allow the board to
define their own options for the use type of emulation.
'make qemu' will still work, however it will be deprecated, starting
with this commit it is recommended to use 'make run'.

Casual building in the tree leads to regular messups where I forget to
clean up the outdir first when switching platforms and the build fails
in strange ways.
Put a $(BOARD) subdirectory under outdir, and use that at $(O) when
the user does not provide an output directory.
Note that "make pristine" continues to remove the entire outdir,
including other architecutres (so as to make the tree pristine).
Also update a few spots where outdir was mentioned in documentation to
clarify the new scheme.
