[Buildbot-devel] Build Properties through the DB / data API

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

Regarding duplication -- I don't think it needs to be solved now, but
we could later build a `properties` table containing key, value, and
source, and do some select-then-insert to catch duplicates.  Then
buildset and build properties would just be many-to-many tables.
