    Add basic support for abi rules to the tools · 072d3e04

    Add basic "understand and keep" support for abi rules, where
    "understand" means to not error out when seeing an abi rule, and "keep"
    simply means to keep the original abi rule when serializing a profile.
    
    On the long term, abi rules should be parsed (similar to include rules),
    but for now, this patch is the smallest possible changeset and easy to
    backport.
    
    Note that the only added test is via cleanprof_test.* which is used by
    minitools_test.py - and does _not_ run if you do a 'make check'.
    Oh, and of course the simple_tests/abi/ files also get parsed by
    test-parser-simple-tests.py.
    
    Also note that serialize_profile_from_old_profile() (which no longer
    exists in master, "only" in <= 2.13) would in theory also need support
    for abi rules. In practise, making this another case of
    "serialize_profile_from_old_profile() has known issues" is probably
    fine, but we should at least test that "(V)iew changes" doesn't break if
    an abi rule is present.
