Evolve the NetBSD build system to support minimal, hermetic, globally correct builds.

For more information, please see: [Reworking the NetBSD™ build system](https://jkoshy.net/projects/reworking-the-netbsd-build-system.html).

Milestones:

- [gsoc-1] The build dependency graph for Makefiles under `/usr/src` can be extracted to a suitable graph database.
- [gsoc-2] An executor that 'executes' the build graph is ready.
- A translator from [Starlark](https://bazel.build/rules/language) to the build graph is ready.
- Manual conversion of Makefiles to Starlark syntax (perhaps out of scope for GSoc).
