Element paths should always be completed from the root element folder
defined by the element-path key in project.conf. Fix complete_path() to
always search into its given base_directory argument.

See issue #448

Fix autocompletion for elements in sub-folders

See merge request !592

magic_timestamp is moved into file scope so other classes
can use it.

This is to allow to allow its use by subclasses.

Since access to get_directories is now blocked for some plugins,
and the subclasses of Sandbox do not have configuration defined
by YAML files, they need another way to get at the root directory.

buildstream/storage/Directory.py: New file.
buildstream/storage/_filebaseddirectory.py: New file.
buildstream/_exceptions.py: New VIRTUAL_FS exception source.

This removes _add_directory_to_tarfile since it is now implemented in
_filebaseddirectory.py.

sandbox/_mount.py, sandbox/_sandboxbwrap.py:
  Remove instances of get_directory

This will need more attention when we bring in another virtual
directory backend, however, we've said it is acceptable for the
sandbox itself to access the underlying directory, and this is
the best fix in the meantime.

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

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

Add an optional flag to make files executable after having downloaded them.

Instead of leaving the permissioning of downloaded file in remote.py up
to the user's umask; expressly set permissions to 0644 or 0755 if
executable.

Add a helper function assert_ref_in_track to git.py GitMirror()
which is used when staging & initing the source workspace. It
checks the element's ref exists in the track (branch/tag) if it
has been specified, raising an error if necessary. If the element
has been tracked with bst, it is assumed that the value of ref exists
in the track as it was generated from it & as such is not asserted.
