Make autocoded files more visible

[timcanham]

With cmake using build caches and the F Prime cmake system generating the autocoded base classes, a frequent question is: How do I find the generated files?

Possible ideas:

1. Create symlinks in the source directory to the build cache directory.
2. The files aren't really target-specific. Can the generated files go in a different, predictable path in the build cache?

fprime-util info was designed to provide this and other information

fprime-util info
[INFO] fprime build information:
    Available directory targets: 'build'

    Available global targets: 'build --all' 'build --all --ut' 'check --all' 'check --leak --all' 'check --coverage --all'
  ----------------------------------------------------------
    Release build cache module directory: /Users/mstarch/code/fprime-infra/fprime-sw/Ref/build-fprime-automatic-native/Ref
    Release build cache: /Users/mstarch/code/fprime-infra/fprime-sw/Ref/build-fprime-automatic-native

The first line after ---------... is the path to the module's cache directory. Also note, there isn't "target specific" information here. Is this information insufficient?

[timcanham]

Isn't the build-fprime-automatic-*native* the target-specific part?

My proposal for 1. was to put a symlink in each directory that has fpp files to the build cache directory with the autocoded files for that fpp file.

Yay! Reviving this cause it's important for understanding the framework's inner-working.
