Due to historical reasons, we have had two variables that points to the output directory (e.g. "$topdir/build/linux-x64"), one named BUILD_OUTPUT and one named OUTPUT_ROOT.

First of all, these two should be unified into one.

Second, it should be renamed OUTPUTDIR to better align with other variables such as TOPDIR, and the various *_OUTPUTDIR variables we already have.

The only non-trivial part of this patch was the handling in bootcycle-spec.gmk.in. I've verified that I can still build bootcycle-images.
