Improve our filter documentation

Closes #278

See merge request !1112

This patch also uncovered the fact that our test_filter_deps_ok() test
has been inaccurate. Thus the element built in this test
(deps-permitted.bst) has been modified so that it build depends on the
input.bst element, as it should.

tests/filter.py: Ensure deps_ok test passes

Fail when we explictly try to include/exclude non-existent domains in a filter element

Providing a remote will limit build's pull/push remote actions to
the given remote specifically, ignoring those defined via user or
project configuration.

Add --remote, -r option to bst build, inline with pull & push

In order to support use of roaring bitmaps in the loader, we need to
depend on it here.

The dependency cache in LoadElement causes the peak RAM consumption of
the loader to be exceedingly large, upwards of 25GB for a test of a
Debian stack.  By switching from the old dict cache to a roaring bitmap
based cache, we reduce the cost of the loader cache in RAM terms to
around 5.5GB for the same stack, which makes it plausible for the short
term.

The unix specification for unix sockets only allocates ~100 characters
for the length of the path. This may be longer than the path for a CI
runner, or the path to a user's buildstream directory.

Add pre-merge tests that use a WSL runner

We want external plugins to be able to make use of the core testing utils.
This commit exposes the basic utilities which are currently in use in
bst-external plugins. If necessary, more utilities could be exposed in the
future.

Moves the following files from tests/testutils/ to
buildstream/plugintestingutils/:
o runcli.py
o integration.py

As part of this, this commit makes the following changes to runcli.py
and integration.py:
o runcli.py: Fix linting errors
o runcli.py: Add user facing documentation
o Integration.py: Add user facing documentation

Expose basic api for testing external plugins.
