Wishlist sync-zephyr-artifacts - only download and update subset of boards #471

Description

@KurtE

As I mentioned in issue #456 and in the forum posts:

https://forum.arduino.cc/t/how-to-share-a-zephyr-build-for-the-q-from-one-q-to-another/1441532/6?u=kurte

the changes made to fix that issue works well for some of my systems, however I ran into issues with trying to use it on my Uno Q2 as it would run out of space.

Not sure if I should repeat all of the information from the lst forum post, but for example if I look at the resultant download on my Q4 I see

arduino@Uno-Q4:~/git/ArduinoCore-zephyr$ du -sh variants
732M    variants
arduino@Uno-Q4:~/git/ArduinoCore-zephyr$

And then if it also adds in all of the firmware's for all of the variants that adds another about 84MB, that is a lot of
space to be taken up on the Q2.

Not only is it the final space taken up, it first downloads a large archive file from Github, with a .tar.bz2 extensions
it then expands the whole thing, before it starts to update everything.

Would be great if there was a version, that only updated the board types of UnoQ or other app-lab boards.

Or maybe split up into three: Q, Zephyr, contributed. And/Or; some form of selective updates, like command line options, or looking into boards.txt or some local configuration file...
