[FEATURE] Release 2.0 tracker

[jgabaut]

invil, the Rust port of this repo (at this link), is mostly compliant with amboso 1.9.7.

An effort should be made to reach clear parity and release 2.0 before archiving the repo.

Edit: I changed my mind and will postpone arching to let a couple more extensions creep into the codebase.

At the time of opening this issue, current issues should be closed:

• [FEATURE] Single gcc call option may want to support passing compiler arguments #5
• [BUG] Unexpected behaviour on bash 3.x #21
• [BUG] Script fails unexpectedly when using mawk #58
• [BUG] amboso_fn.sh has unnecessary bashisms #62
• [FEATURE] The configure call in automake mode has no arguments #63

Edit:

New issues that should be updated and closed:

• [BUG] Version 1.9.8 breaks backwards compatibility for -C flag  #80
• [FEATURE] Version 1.9.9 breaks -C flag from 1.9.8 #81
• [BUG] Version 1.9.7 breaks backwards compatibility for test mode #82

• [BUG] Running tests with -ti should be deprecated #91
• [FEATURE] Add format function to unify logging interface #92
• [FEATURE] Add CHANGELOG.md #93

This PR should provide most of the needed changes:

• feat: 2.0.0 Backport invil 0.1.7 features #88

Edit 2:
