utils/job-prereq.py: New tool to get LAVA job files name
Add a new tool that outputs to the stdout the filenames needed by LAVA to run a test job. Required arguments are the machine type and the build type (e.g. CI, snapshots, release). Change-Id: I760fe59c6e04cf1e396c3772426fc8f6042f322c Signed-off-by: Loys Ollivier <lollivier@baylibre.com>

This is an AGL job generation tool for [LAVA](https://staging.validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/).\
It is written in Python and uses jinja2 templates to generate yaml job files
following the LAVA specifications.

## Usage instructions
-The tool for generating job is located in the ./utils folder, it is named "create-jobs.py".
+The repo contains several tools that are located in the "./utils" folder.\
+Following is a list of the available tools:
+- `job-prereq.py` a tool that prints the binary packages needed to create a LAVA jobs
+- `create-jobs.py` a tool for generating lava job templates from binary packages hosted on the web
-### create-jobs.py
+### `job-prereq.py`
+Command line tool that prints the packages needed by LAVA to execute a test job.
+#### Required arguments:
+- `--machine`
+ - Available machine names: ```{dra7xx-evm,qemux86-64,porter,m3ulcb,raspberrypi3}```
+ - For an up to date list of machine names run: ```./utils/create-jobs.py --help```
+- `--build-type`
+ - Needs three arguments formatted as follow: `{build-type-name,branch,version}`.
+ - the build `build-type-name` must be one of: ci, daily, weekly, release.
+ - the build `branch` or `changeid` must be a branch name or changeid number.
+ - the build `version` or `patchset` must be the version or patchset number.
+
+#### Optionnal arguments
+- `--dtb`
+ - prints to stdout the needed `dtb` package name to create this specific LAVA job definition.
+- `--kernel`
+ - prints to stdout the needed `kernel` package name to create this specific LAVA job definition.
+- `--initrd`
+ - prints to stdout the needed `ramdisk` package name to create this specific LAVA job definition.
+- `--nbdroot`
+ - prints to stdout the needed `root file system` package name to create this specific LAVA job definition.
+
+Exception: if the machine is `qemux86-64` only `--kernel` and `--initrd` optionnal arguments are available. As qemu LAVA jobs do not need a `dtb` or `nbdroot`.
+
+_Examples:_
+```bash
+./utils/job-prereq.py --machine qemux86-64 --build-type {ci,11524,2} --kernel --initrd
+./utils/job-prereq.py --machine raspberrypi3 --build-type {release,eel,v4.9.3} --kernel --initrd --nbdroot --dtb
+./utils/job-prereq.py --machine m3ulcb --build-type {daily,eel,v4.9.3} --kernel --dtb
