Add support for relative to base scope command line variable overrides
Currently, if we say: $ b dir/ ./foo=bar The scope the foo=bar is set on is relative to CWD, not dir/. While this may seem wrong at first, this is the least surprising behavior when we take into account that there can be multiple dir/'s. Sometimes, however, we do want the override directory to be treated relative to (every) target's base scope that we are building. To support this we are extending the '.' and '..' special directory names (which are still resolved relative to CWD) with '...', which means "relative to the base scope of every target in the buildspec". For example: $ b dir/ .../foo=bar Is equivalent to: $ b dir/ dir/foo=bar And: $ b liba/ libb/ .../tests/foo=bar Is equivalent to: $ b liba/ libb/ liba/tests/foo=bar libb/tests/foo=bar
