Try to make the language simpler. Introduce each example with a
paragraph that says "To <DO XYZ>" to make them easier to find.
Move the config options to the documentation for that command to make
them easier to find.
Add some more examples for use cases we've gotten questions about.

- Respect the BOARD environment setting.
- Don't require --force if the board can't be figured out: it might be
set in CMakeLists.txt, for example. Instead, downgrade to a warning
which can be disabled with "west config build.board_warn false".
- Add a build.board configuration option used as a final BOARD fallback
after CACHED_BOARD (in the CMake cache), --board (command line), and
BOARD (environment).
- Keep the config docs up to date.

Add a new "boards" command that is able to list all the boards in the
upstream tree. There is currently no support for out-of-tree boards.
The command executes cmake to use the built-in CMake script,
boards.cmake, to list the boards, and then stores the information
retrieved and allows the user to present it in a user-definable format.

When making a build folder pristine until now we were running the
'pristine' build target. The issue with that is that ninja/make or
whatever build tool is being used might decide to re-run CMake itself if
some of the dependencies have changes. This might trigger an error that
is unfriendly and unnecessary, since the user is explicitly asking for
the build folder to be wiped before starting a fresh build.
To avoid this issue restor to running directly the CMake script that the
'pristine' build target itself uses, so as to make sure that the build
folder is wiped unconditionally regardless of changes made to the tree.

Add a new command-line and build config option, `pristine`, that the
user can pass to `west build` or set in its configuration file(s) in
order to automatically trigger a pristine build on every build or
whenever west considers it required.
The option can take the following values:
- never: Never run the target
- always: Always run the pristine target before building
- auto: Run the pristine target when required
With `auto`, the pristine target will be run when running
west with an existing build folder containing a build system and:
- Selecting a different board from the one currently in the build system
- Selecting a different application from the one currently in the build
system

Add a missing reference to how west is used to set ZEPHYR_MODULES in
without-west.rst, augmenting the application development guide a bit
to include this in the list of important variables, cleaning that up a
bit while we are here and adding some more west details.
Add a big fat warning in the getting started guide that using Zephyr
without west is not for the faint of heart.

- add glossary terms for important concepts we have to explain often,
like "west installation"
- add autodoc directives for pulling in west API docs
- add missing documentation for built-in features like west's
configuration, extension commands, etc.
- add missing documentation for "west sign" extension
- describe the manifest in a self-contained way rather than linking to
the relevant pykwalify schema, also adding a missing reference to
"west manifest" in the miscellaneous multi-repo commands list
- move various details regarding history and motivation to why.rst
among other changes to repo-tool.rst, leaving it closer to a "tell
me what I really need to know" style overview
- update planned features

In order to simplify the usage of `west build`, take a positional
argument with the source directory instead of requiring the `-s,
--source-dir` flag. This makes it easier and quicker to invoke west when
building, as well as being consistent with CMake.
