devtool: add: properly handle separate build directory
When we were adding a recipe for software that would typically be built in the same directory as the source, we were always using a separate build directory unless the user explicitly specified not to, leading to errors for software that doesn't expect to be built that way (such as Python modules using distutils). Split out the code that makes this determination automatically from the "devtool modify" and "devtool upgrade" code and re-use that here so the behaviour is consistent.
