Make 'gclient_gn_args*' handling consistent between sync and flatten.

Previously, 'gclient sync' would process "gn_args" settings in any
recursed DEPS files, potentially producing multiple output files or
conflicting output files, but 'gclient flatten' would only ever include
one set of "gn_args" settings in the flattened output, and only if they
occurred in the top-level DEPS file.

This makes 'gclient sync' and 'gclient flatten' more consistent by
restricting them both to a single instance of those setting, and
requiring those setting to be defined either in the top-level DEPS file,
or in a recursedeps file specificed by the new 'gclient_gn_args_from'
setting.
