1852869 - In `toolkit/components/glean/moz.build`, have entry points return set of dependencies for `GeneratedFiles` rather than listing them

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, enhancement)

Description

[Nick Alexander :nalexander [he/him]]

There's a list of Python source dependencies in toolkit/components/glean/moz.build that impacts argument parsing. There's a simpler way: per https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/09f7e00da9eaef55c80620c17e8575ddd4532451/python/mozbuild/mozbuild/frontend/context.py#1543-1544:

[In `GeneratedFiles` ... ] 
        [t]he chosen script entry point may optionally return a set of strings,
        indicating extra files the output depends on.

This ticket tracks simplifying this.
