mainlining shenanigans
baa3331503
Before, our help output contained lines like
--kconfig_add KCONFIG_ADD
--qemu_config qemu_config
--jobs jobs
They're not very helpful.
The former kind come from the automatic 'metavar' we get from argparse,
the uppercase version of the flag name.
The latter are where we manually specified metavar as the flag name.
After:
--build_dir DIR
--make_options X=Y
--kunitconfig PATH
--kconfig_add CONFIG_X=Y
--arch ARCH
--cross_compile PREFIX
--qemu_config FILE
--jobs N
--timeout SECONDS
--raw_output [{all,kunit}]
--json [FILE]
This patch tries to make the code more clear by specifying the _type_ of
input we expect, e.g. --build_dir is a DIR, --qemu_config is a FILE.
I also switched it to uppercase since it looked more clearly like
placeholder text that way.
This patch also changes --raw_output to specify `choices` to make it
more clear what the options are, and this way argparse can validate it
for us, as shown by the added test case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
