idf.py: Add support for action specific options

Changes argument parsing mechanism from argparse to a new one, that provides better support for extensions and options that are only applicable to specific subcommands,

Breaking changes:

1. All global options should go before subcommands, i.e. `idf.py build -C ~/some/project` will not work anymore, only `idf.py -C ~/some/project build` is acceptable
2. To provide multiple values to an option like `--define-cache-entry` it's necessary to repeat option many times, i.e. `idf.py -D entry1 entry2 entry3` will not work, right way is: `idf.py -D entry1 -D entry2 -D entry3`
At the moment there are 3 options like this:  `--define-cache-entry` in base list and `--test-components` and `--test-exclude-components` in the unit test extensions
3. Drops `defconfig` and `bootloader-clean` subcommands
