support/scripts/graph-build-time: add support for timeline graphing

This commit adds support for a new type of graph, showing the timeline
of a build. It shows, with one line per package, when each of this
package steps started/ended, and therefore allows to see the
sequencing of the package builds.

For a fully serialized build like we have today, this is not super
useful (except to show that everything is serialized), but it becomes
much more useful in the context of top-level parallel build.

We chose to order the graph by the time-of-configure, as it is the
closest to the actual cascade-style of a true dependency graph, which is
tiny bit more complex to achieve properly. The actual result still looks
pretty good.

The graph-build make target is extended to also generate this new
timeline graph.
