Michael Spang c8b939009b Remove absolute paths from build command lines
The GN convention is to specify paths in command lines relative to the
build directory. Unfortunately and contrary to pigweed's expectations
this is not what rebase_path(path) does; that outputs an absolute path.

Absolute paths are not desirable in most circumstances as they contain
sources of nondeterminism such as the developer's home directory. Using
them can for example reduce hit rate in build caches.

Replace rebase_path(path) with rebase_path(path, root_build_dir) which
is the correct idiom and matches GN's builtin behavior (e.g. for
sources, include_dirs, etc).

This also removes the --directory argument to python_action(). Changing
the directory during the build while using relative paths is likely to
result in confusion and should be discouraged.

There's a couple more things to do on top of this for identical
binaries between build directories / machines / developers:

- pass options to avoid embedding the working directory
- pass options to use relative paths for the vendored clang & libc++

See [1]-[2] for how to do that.

import("python_action.gni")
# Runs a program which isn't in Python.
#
# This is provided to avoid having to write a new Python wrapper script every
# time a program needs to be run from GN.
#
# Args:
# program: The program to run. Can be a full path or just a name (in which case
# $PATH is searched).
#
# args: Optional list of arguments to the program.
#
# deps: Dependencies for this target.
#
# inputs: Optional list of build inputs to the program.
#
# outputs: Optional list of artifacts produced by the program's execution.
#
# env: Optional list of key-value pairs defining environment variables for
# the program.
#
# env_file: Optional path to a file containing a list of newline-separated
# key-value pairs defining environment variables for the program.
#
# args_file: Optional path to a file containing additional positional arguments
# to the program. Each line of the file is appended to the invocation. Useful
# for specifying arguments from GN metadata.
#
# skip_empty_args: If args_file is provided, boolean indicating whether to skip
# running the program if the file is empty. Used to avoid running commands
# which error when called without arguments.
#
# capture_output: If true, output from the program is hidden unless the program
# exits with an error. Defaults to true.
#
# Example:
#
# pw_exec("hello_world") {
# program = "/bin/sh"
# args = [
# "-c",
# "echo hello \$WORLD",
# ]
# env = [
# "WORLD=world",
# ]
# }
