Add a "commands" tool
This tool performs a post-order traversal of the build graph, starting
from a list of targets specified on the command line, and for each
build statement encountered, prints the evaluated command line.
Use cases include:
- Generating input for a tool which needs to know the full command line
for every command invoked during a build. Many static analysis
and indexing tools require this information.
- Generating a build script which does not depend on Ninja.
For example, such a script could be used by Ninja to bootstrap
itself.
