I've now cleaned up and restructured the regression repo to isolate the
various tools to avoid extra build setup and dependencies. I also fixed a
build issue that was building debug exes instead of release. The times are
now..

First run (total) ~18.0 minutes
Second run (total) ~8.5 min

First run (git) ~2.5 min
Second run (git) ~0.8 min

First run (update_tools) ~2.0 min
Second run (update_tools) ~1.0 min

First run (build_results) ~13.5 min
Second run (build_results, no updates) ~6.0 min

The new report script is at <
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boostorg/regression/develop/reports/src/build_results_all.sh
>.

If you want the faster times please change to using that one. The older one
will stay around until I hear that everyone has changed to this one.
