Per-operator build dependencies

Creates a list of operators their respective dependencies.
Alters the build system to walk-through them resolve the dependencies
and build Compute Library.

Removes the following unused kernels/functions:
-[NE|CL]MinMaxLayerKernel
-CLFillBorder

Resolves: COMPMID-4695,COMPMID-4696

 Based on the CPU support, the appropriate kernel will be selected at runtime for execution. Currently this option is
 only supported with armv8.2-a as the base architecture.

+Dependencies for all operators have been explicitly defined, this provides the ability to users to generate Compute Library
+binaries that include a user-defined list of operators.
+
+An experimental flag 'build_config' has been introduced where a JSON configuration file can be provided and consumed.
+An example config looks like:
+@code{.py}
+{
+    "operators": [
+        "Activation",
+        "DepthwiseConv2d",
+        "Conv2d",

+        "Reshape"
+    ],
+    "data_types": [
+        "NHWC"
+    ]
+}
+@endcode
+
+Supported data-types options are:
+- "NHWC"
+- "NCHW"
+
+The list of supported operators can be found in filelist.json in the root of Compute Library repo.
