I have finally applied this patch, but after splitting it into two
commits:

 * One implementing the docopt -> argparse migration

 * One implementing the --no-toolchains-csv option

Also, the --no-toolchains-csv option of utils/genrandconfig did not
exist back in the 2022.02.x branch, so when autobuild-run is executed
with --no-toolchains-csv, it never built any configuration on
2022.02.x, which is problematic.

I worked this around by doing a special case:

  https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot-test/commit/?id=cae22243b75f7766095cbef196016b3b3143b677

I have now deployed the new script on two of the autobuilder instances
that I manage (gcc159 and gcc160).

Could you on your side also update to use the latest version of
autobuild-run, so that we are aligned?

Thanks a lot for this work, it has been extremely useful to find more
problematic configurations!

Best regards,

Thomas
