Ethan Atkins 8f54ecd536 Check meta build sources before task evaluation
This commit finally fixes #241 by adding support for sbt to either
print a warning or automatically reload the project if the metabuild
sources have changed. To facilitate this, I introduce a new key,
metaBuildSourceOption which has three options:
1) IgnoreSourceChanges
2) WarnOnSourceChanges
3) ReloadOnSourceChanges

When the former is set, sbt will not check if the meta build sources
have changed. Otherwise, sbt will use the buildStructure / fileInputs to
get the ChangedFiles for the metabuild. If there are any changes, it
will either warn or reload the build depending on the value of
metaBuildSourceOption.

The mechanism for diffing the files is that I add a step to EvaluateTask
where, if the project has been loaded and
metaBuildSourceOption != IgnoreSourceChanges, we evaluate the needReload
task. If we need a reload, we return an error that indicates that a
Reload is necessary. When that error is detected, the MainLoop will
prepend "reload" to the pending commands for the state. Otherwise we
just print a warning and continue.

I benchmarked the overhead of this and it wasn't too bad. I generally
saw it taking 5-20ms to perform the check. Since this is only done once
per task evaluation run, I don't think it's a big deal. When
IgnoreSourceChanges is set, there is O(10us) overhead. If performance
does become a problem, we could add a global watch service and skip the
needReload evaluation if no files have been modified.

I removed the watchTrackMetaBuild key and made it so that the continuous
builds only track the meta build when
metaBuildSourceOption == ReloadOnSourceChanges
