RFE: Allow easy way of building all elements
Background
When managing a BuildStream project, it is often desired to validate that all elements under the given project are building at all times. This is simple to automate when there is a single or a handful of leaf elements but becomes cumbersome to do it outside BuildStream as the number of elements begin to increase.
If there was a way to tell BuildStream to build all elements, something like bst build --all, that would solve this issue.
As part of this, we may need a mechanism to let BuildStream identify which files are bst elements (probably leveraging file extensions or similar).
