Mitchell Hentges ddbb742a6c Bug 1740123: Allow invoking Mach outside of MozillaBuild r=glandium
Assuming that the `MOZILLABUILD` environment variable is set, allow
invoking Mach from non-MozillaBuild terminals.

Note that MozillaBuild still needs to be installed, and the
`MOZILLABUILD` environment variable will have to be set.

For future reference: when I tried setting this up with Windows
Store's Python 3.9, I encountered issues when running binaries installed
via `pip`: it would fail with `abort: failed to load Python DLL
python3x.dll`.

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).
