Add support for a distinct SYSROOT location
This location cannot be prefix-aware as we don't currently have any variable to represent that. Given that this is intended to be used with crossdev toolchains under /usr/${CHOST}, that should not matter. Even if that location is nested within a prefixed system, it does not need to be aware of that as it is not intended for execution.

* cleanups: Drop long-obsolete Jython compatibility code.

Bug fixes:
* sync: Clobber repositories using sync-type=git to match rsync behavior. This
helps with issues where git-synced repositories can become confused
