To help ensure Python 3 compatibility.

Bug 1176620 - Refactor how mach command metadata is stored; r?ahal

Up to this point, mach command metadata has been stored in tuples.
Initially, things weren't so bad. But they have evolved into tuples with
many elements. Adding new attributes is cumbersome. Let's restructure
the code to capture metadata in a dedicated class.

Before, there existed a separate attribute on the @Command or
@SubCommand decorated method for each mach decorator: @Command,
@CommandArgument, @CommandArgumentGroup. With the magic of __ior__,
we can now capture all metadata on a single type. This simplies
processing, as we now only look at a single attribute on methods:
_mach_command.

Before, we used separate attributes to distinguish between mach commands
and mach sub-commands. Now that we have a type that can hold all data,
we combine things into the _mach_command attribute and look for the
presence of the "subcommand" attribute on this type to identify
sub-commands.

Simplify construction of mach's MethodHandler instances by by passing in
our new rich type that holds all command metadata.

While we are here, kill the docstring argument, as it can be computed
easily inside MethodHandler.__init__.

This type is now redundant with our new rich type for capturing all mach
command metadata. Eliminate it and using _MachCommand instead.

I read somewhere that cwd is on sys.path by default, so "." would still be used as a root for searching absolute paths. Not sure if this is still the case, but just fyi. r+ either way.

Yeah, that's probably correct. I don't think it's important though. I'm adding absolute_import to everything as a matter of principle: not trying to incur more technical debt for Python 3.
