Marti Bolivar 7a3462de7a scripts: runner: use arguments, not environment vars
The various runners (flash/debug scripts) use environment variables to
take arguments. This is legacy behavior which is not desirable.

Use command line arguments instead.

Note: this leaves more general environment variables with publicly
      documented behavior in place for now, for compatibility, e.g.:

      ZEPHYR_FLASH_OVER_DFU, OPENSDA_FW, ESP_IDF_PATH, PYOCD_DAPARG

For example, when using dfu-util to flash arduino_101, instead of
setting DFUUTIL_PID, DFUUTIL_ALT, and DFUUTIL_IMG environment
variables, have the script invocation look like this:

  python3 .../zephyr_flash_debug.py dfu-util flash \
          [common arguments omitted] \
          --pid=8087:0aba --alt=x86_app \
          --img=.../build/zephyr/zephyr.bin

Make similar changes for other runners (openocd, etc.) and
targets (debug, debugserver).

To implement this in the scripts:

  - have the individual scripts/support/runner/some-runner.py files
    register their own command line arguments

  - teach them to construct instances from arguments, not the
    environment

  - have zephyr_flash_debug.py request runners to register command
    line argument parsers, and handle arguments

In the build system:

  - add a new board_runner_args() extension function that board.cmake
    files can use to add to the zephyr_flash_debug.py command line

  - adjust cmake/flash/CMakeLists.txt to invoke with arguments

  - add new helper include files for each runner (like
    boards/common/dfu-util.board.cmake, etc.), which add default
    options as needed and then add on overrides from
    board_runner_args() calls

  - update board.cmake files to use the new includes and extension

This implied some tweaking when using openocd to make the CMake string
escaping and unescaping work properly.
