Packagers skip options

Dirk HOFFMANN requested to merge github/fork/ederag/packagers-skip-options into master

Created by: ederag

At the instigation of @mwilck (thanks for the clear and kind request !), packagers can now use two new "skip" options (fix #550 (closed))

./waf --help | grep -i1 packagers
  --prefix=PREFIX       installation prefix [default: /usr]
  --skip-gsettings      skip gsettings schemas build and installation (for packagers)
  --skip-icon-cache-update
                        skip icon cache update (for packagers)

That escalated a bit in a long-wanted overhaul of the wscripts. wscript-build was changed to a fully valid python script named wscript (it is clearer that the build method in that script will be called by the root wscript, instead of the code being mysteriously "included", with bld not explicitly defined locally)
