wm4 dc87c5e452 bootstrap.py: skip download if waf already exists
It seems like a good idea not to generate any additional network traffic
and wait times if we don't have to.

Also print the URL it's downloading from.

Note that if we require a newer waf release, there will be a problem.
Running ./bootstrap.py won't get the newest waf version anymore in case
the old version is in the source dir. Not sure how to handle this.

Stefano Pigozzi 7e2edad8ef switch the build system to waf
This commit adds a new build system based on waf. configure and Makefile
are deprecated effective immediately and someday in the future they will be
removed (they are still available by running ./old-configure).

You can find how the choice for waf came to be in `DOCS/waf-buildsystem.rst`.
TL;DR: we couldn't get the same level of abstraction and customization with
other build systems we tried (CMake and autotools).

For guidance on how to build the software now, take a look at README.md
and the cross compilation guide.
