This is used when sending execution requests, to specify which instance of the
execution server to use.

Partial fix for #627.

Adds instance name support for the remote execution storage service.

Adds the 'instance_name' parameter, which may be None, to most GRPC
calls in the CASCache object. ByteStream requests already have
instance_name supplied in the resource name, so do not need the
parameter.

Closes #627.

The queue shouldn't need to know about individual sources. This is in
line with _track() and _get_consistency().

Do not call fetch() for cached sources

Add a `_GitSourceBase` class to act as the base class for deriving
source plugins that work with Git. The first user of this base class is
the `git` source plugin that's in core at the moment.

The contents of this base class is almost identical to the existing `GitSource`
class. The two notable differences are:

- the private methods now have leading underscores, as some were missing
  it originally
- the name of the class

Note that we are exposing a private member here as we expect it to move to a
separate package soon. See the following discussion for more details:
#739 (comment 124819869)

Fixes #739.

Now that we are also looking for WORKSPACE_PROJECT_FILE, we should add
it to the error message. While we're there, also mention the directory
we are looking in - this could help scripters be clear about what went
wrong.

The new error message looks like this:

    Error loading project: None of ['project.conf', '.bstproject.yaml']
    found in '/src/temp/blah' or any of its parent directories

In the event that the project could not be found, stop BuildStream from
asking if the user would like to create a new project. Exit with error
instead, and give a hint to the user in case they're new.

As proposed on the mailing list here:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/buildstream-list/2018-December/msg00082.html

The new interaction looks like this:

    $ bst show nonsuch.bst
    No project found. You can create a new project like so:

        bst init

    Error loading project: None of ['project.conf', '.bstproject.yaml']
    found in '/src/temp/blah' or any of its parent directories

Fixes #826

BREAK: remove auto-init behaviour

Closes #826

Use raw strings for regex searches, which is the preferred way to do
regular expressions in Python.

Without this patch, currently we get the following warnings:

Specify flags at the start of the expression as per the recommendation

Recently we have been adding some tests which use the new tmp_path
fixture from pytest, this is new in 3.9.

Since Thomas Nixon fixed the datafiles plugin to be compatible
with pytest >= 3.8.0, we can now depend on it and avoid the
warnings and errors which the older datafiles plugin causes.

This fixes issue #636

After having fixed the more recent linting errors, the
tests should pass with recent versions of pylint. Tested
with pylint 2.2.2.
