1491967 - Resolve build args to objdir paths when possible in Tup

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Chris Manchester (limited bugmail, email directly)]

When invoking tup with a directory in the srcdir on the command line, we should resolve this to an objdir path when possible and pass it along to the tup invocation. Today we'll just do a partial update based on the srcdir path, not find any tup files, and do nothing.

There's a pretty big difference between what tup and make do in case of a partial tree build, so we need to communicate that as well, either as a part of doing this or separately.
