Introduce new "source" command group

Chandan Singh requested to merge chandan/source-subgroup into master

Description

Following the message thread https://mail.gnome.org/archives/buildstream-list/2018-November/msg00106.html, implement a new command group called source. Move existing track, fetch, and the recently added source-checkout commands under this group.

For track and fetch, this is a BREAKING change, as the old commands have been marked as obsolete. Using them will result in an error message that refers people to use the new versions, like bst source fetch instead of old bst fetch. source-checkout will now become source checkout (the dash has turned into a space), and is not a breaking change as it was added in the current development cycle.

Note that the functionality to hide commands from help output was added only recently in Click, so the minimum version of Click that we now require is 7.0.

Changes proposed in this merge request:

  • _frontend/cli.py: Add source command group, mark previous versions as obsolete and hide them from the help output.
  • _frontend/complete.py: Fix completion for hidden commands.
  • setup.py: Bump Click minimum version to 7.0.
  • tests: Update to cope with the new command names.
  • NEWS: Add entry for new source command group.

This merge request, when approved, will close:

Fixes #814 (closed).
