Mike Shal f4db667457 Bug 1461795 - Use FileAvoidWrite when writing mozinfo.json; r=chmanchester
Since MozbuildObject.from_environment() reads from mozinfo.json, tup
picks up that file as a dependency for anything that imports buildconfig
(eg: all generated files). Using FileAvoidWrite when creating
mozinfo.json will help avoid unnecessary work after re-running configure
in the tup backend.

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
