We use Toaster as a read-only build viewer for CI. Every CI build
uploads its bitbake event log to a shared Toaster instance, which
imports it with toaster-eventreplay and is started without build mode.
This works today, but has three limitations that this series removes:

* All imported builds land in the "Command line builds" project, so
  builds of differeent branches or CI instances cannot be told appart.
* Whithuot the build mode. projects are hard to reach because the
  "All projects" tab is hidden and project links lead to the configuration
  page for builds.
* And IMHO there was a bug that the time of the import instead of the
  actual start time.

Patch 1 shows projects and their builds without build mode and hides
the configuration pages and build actions there.

Patch 2 adds the TOASTER_PROJECT variable: if it is set, a command line
build or replayed event log goes into the project of that name, which
is created if needed. Without the variable nothing changes. It also
decides whether a build is a command line build from the absence of a
BuildRequest instead of from the default project, so command line
builds in named projects get no Rebuild/Cancel actions.

Patch 3 takes the build start and end time from the log and task
events, so a replayed log keeps the times of the original build. Live
builds are unchanged apart from at most a few seconds.
