scons: Stop generating inc.d in the isa parser.

Generating dependency/build product information in the isa parser breaks scons
idea of how a build is supposed to work. Arm twisting it into working forced
a lot of false dependencies which slowed down the build.

+    '''Set up a builder for an ISA description.
+
+    The decoder_splits and exec_splits parameters let us determine what
+    files the isa parser is actually going to generate. This needs to match
+    what files are actually generated, and there's no specific check for that
+    right now.
+
+    If the parser itself is responsible for generating a list of its products
+    and their dependencies, then using that output to set up the right
+    dependencies. This is what we used to do. The problem is that scons
+    fundamentally doesn't support using a build product to affect its graph
+    of possible products, dependencies, builders, etc. There are a couple ways
+    to work around that limitation.
+
+    One option is to compute dependencies while the build phase of scons is
+    running. That method can be quite complicated and cumbersome, because we
+    have to make sure our modifications are made before scons tries to
+    consume them. There's also no guarantee that this mechanism will work since
+    it subverts scons expectations and changes things behind its back. This
+    was implemented previously and constrained the builds parallelism
+    significantly.
+
+    Another option would be to recursively call scons to have it update the
+    list of products/dependencies during the setup phase of this invocation of
+    scons. The problem with that is that it would be very difficult to make
+    the sub-invocation of scons observe the options passed to the primary one
+    in all possible cases, or to even determine conclusively what the name of
+    the scons executable is in the first place.
+
+    Possible future changes to the isa parser might make it easier to
+    determine what files it would generate, perhaps because there was a more
+    direct correspondence between input files and output files. Or, if the
+    parser could run quickly and determine what its output files would be
+    without having do actually generate those files, then it could be run
+    unconditionally without slowing down all builds or touching the output
+    files unnecessarily.
