[Dart] Update step

[Miller, James V (CRD)]

Brad,

On Friday I added a cache entry for CVSUpdateOptions.  I should be checking it in today.  It will
default to "-d -P -A" but allow the user to edit it (to add -r, etc.).

Hello,

Currently, it looks like the following line is used to generate the cvs
update command:

  set UpdateCommand "$cvs update -d -P -A"

It would be nice if there were a way to run a dashboard build on a cvs
branch given a tag.  Currently we do this by skipping the update step and
doing it manually in the cron job (please correct me if I'm wrong).

I suggest that we either remove the "-A" and let the user have the source
tree checked out on a particular branch, or change it to something like
this:

  set UpdateCommand "$cvs update -d -P $cvsUpdateOptions"

Then, we add the update options variable to the configuration.  It would
allow the user to configure an update as "-r foo-branch".

Thoughts?
-Brad
