Build script helpers [WIP]

Dinghy also provides a dinghy-helper crate to help with the writing of build scripts that performs cross-compilation, and more specifically:

• CommandExt: a std::process::Command extension that can:
  • Setup pkg-config environment variables for a subprocess (PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR, ... e.g. when running Automake ./configure)
  • Setup toolchain environment variables for a subprocess (TARGET_CC, ...)
  • A few other useful methods (e.g. configure_prefix() to set the prefix to rust output dir when running Automake ./configure)
• BindGenBuilderExt: a bindgen::Builder extension to help writing C to rust bindings that supports cross compilation properly (see new_bindgen_with_cross_compilation_support()).

This is still a WIP. Beware of possible breaking changes
