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

For more information, please see: Reworking the NetBSD™ build system.

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 to the build graph is ready.
• Manual conversion of Makefiles to Starlark syntax (perhaps out of scope for GSoc).
