script to simplify build failures
Bug: 132727976
Test: echo "syntax error" >> build.gradle && echo "//comment" >> build.gradle && ./development/simplify-build-failure/simplify-build-failure.sh "help" "Could not get unknown property 'error' for root project" && tail /tmp/diff-filterer/bestResults/build.gradle # and see that the error in build.gradle remains
Test: echo "syntax error" >> build.gradle && echo "//comment" >> build.gradle && ./development/simplify-build-failure/simplify-build-failure.sh "help" "Could not get unknown property 'error' for root project" && find /tmp/diff-filterer/bestResults -type f # and see that only a few files (currently 72 (mostly in buildSrc) at the time of writing) remain
