Added compilation option to skip build for already built libraries:

- the new option -k allows to skip the built of shared libraries, rfsimulator
  basicsimulator and transport protocol libraries
- default compilation remains untouched as is still building all libraries
- this option allows to save a massive amount of time when compiling
  repeatedly for debugging purposes
