[Halld-offline] new script to update private packages (build_scripts)

[Mark Ito]

Builders,

I've written a new script to update private builds of gluex software 
packages, bringing them up-to-date with their respective upstream 
repositories and rebuilding them. This was a request from the last 
Offline Meeting. Find the script at

   /group/halld/Software/build_scripts/my_halld_update.py

Documentation can be found here 
<https://github.com/JeffersonLab/build_scripts/wiki/my_halld_update.py>, 
and is reproduced below.

[inputPackages ...]] positional arguments: inputPackages list of 
packages to update optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message 
and exit -x XML, --xml XML version set xml file name (default: 
version.xml) -n NTHREADS, --nthreads NTHREADS number of threads to use

Examples

 1. Update all private packages as identified by version.xml in the
    current working directory. Private packages contain a "home" attribute:

|my_halld_update.py |

 2. Update halld_sim only:

|my_halld_update.py halld_sim |

 3. Update all private packages as identified by
    /home/user/project/version_special.xml:

|my_halld_update.py -x /home/user/project/version_special.xml |
