Commit Message

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 uppsercase 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 KUNITCONFIG
  --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.

Nit: "uppsercase" -> "uppercase"

> The latter are where we manually specified metavar as the flag name.

This was at least partly my fault: I didn't know what 'metavar' was
actually supposed to be, so assumed it was the name of the variable
the option set (hence them all being the same).

Looks good. I like all of these except possibly KUNITCONFIG, which I
think should probably be FILE, too.

Excellent: that's much more discoverable (and the validation will no
doubt be useful).

Is it worth making this something like FILE or PATH instead.
PATH_TO_KUNITCONFIG would be verbose, but this is a path being given,
so just KUNITCONFIG is still a bit useless.

Here's what the complete help output looks like right now:
  --kunitconfig KUNITCONFIG
                        Path to Kconfig fragment that enables KUnit tests. If
                        given a directory, (e.g. lib/kunit), "/.kunitconfig"
                        will get automatically appended.

So I didn't think it mattered too much if we left it as-is.
But I like PATH (since users can use a dir, FILE felt potentially
misleading, even if  technically correct).

Will send a v2 with the typo in the commit fixed and this changed to PATH.
