Support for execution of asynchronous target, such as openocd, which
by default runs in the background, but if it's the only target idf.py
outputs the openocd in the console waiting for termination by user.
Supports also blocking commands gdb and gdbtui to start a debugging
session in an active console.
Supports running gdbgui running a UI debugging session in a browser
window, using the active console for other commands, such as openocd
or monitor.
Supports combining the debug targets in one action list, such as
idf.py openocd gdbgui monitor
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

On some systems pip and setuptools are no longer installed as
dependencies of the python packages. This commit adds the requirement
for these packages.
