Mach Commands are now Standalone Functions

[Mitchell Hentges]

Alex Lopez just landed a major contribution yesterday: Mach commands are now standalone functions.

This simplifies the commands as well as their associated tests - additional details can be found in the Tooling Announcement.

For a taste of what our brand new, beautiful, modern future looks like, see the comparison between before:

@CommandProvider
class Foo(MachCommandBase):
    @Command("foo", category="misc")
    @CommandArgument("--bar")
    def foo(self, bar):
        print(self.topsrcdir, bar)

And after:

@Command("foo", category="misc")
@CommandArgument("--bar")
def foo(command_context, bar):
    print(command_context.topsrcdir, bar)

I hope that this improvement will "Mach" your day better 😉

Thanks for your great work Alex!
