HACKING.rst: Add running a single test example

See merge request !597

A project path is a path relative to a project directory.

A project path can not also refer to the parent directory in the first
path component, or point to symbolic links, fifos, sockets and
block/character devices.

The autotools example had to be copied over inside of the junction
example, as referring to a path outside of the project directory is
now disallowed.

Add validation for project paths

See merge request !593

This is required to be able to build a Loader before the list

Fix small error in docs in relation to `get_variable` documentation.

element.py (docs): dashes not underscores for build and install root

See merge request !577

This is needed to build docs without installing BuildStream.

  o Added feature to allow running shell commands

  o Removed unused codepaths to launch bst commands through the script,
    this program is anyway only used to parse and run the session files.

  o Fixed previous patch to run BuildStream uninstalled with
    the subprocess module, as running it in the same interpretor
    causes a bunch of problems.

Since we added support for shell commands in bst2html, this can now be fixed.

This is a part of issue #553

cascache.py: modify _required_blobs so non-Directory objects have no dependencies rather than throwing an exception

These are necessary to tell if something has previous been pushed.
push() returns false if the ref already exists on the remote,
so we need another method to verify existence on the remote.
