Closes #20600
This gets the build system fully ready for incremental compilation. The next step is to finish incremental compilation features in the frontend, as you can see from using the results of this PR:
Here, the build system has kept the compiler running, and asked for an update. The frontend crashed due to a bug/missing feature.
Users should not use
-fincremental
yet, in order to avoid triggering these bugs. If you don't pass-fincremental
then it doesn't keep the compiler alive.
