Ethan Atkins 4061dabf4d Override zinc compile analysis for source changes
Zinc records all of the compile source file hashes when compilation
completes. This is problematic because its possible that a source file
was changed during compilation. From the user perspective, this may mean
that their source change will not be recompiled even if a build is
triggered by the change.

To overcome this, I add logic in the sbt provided external hooks to
override the zinc analysis stamps. This is done by writing the source
file stamps to the previous cache after compilation completes. This
allows us to see the source differences from sbt's perspective, rather
than zinc's perspective. We then merge the combined differences in the
actual implementation of ExternalHooks. In some cases this may result in
over-compilation but generally over-compilation is preferred to under
compilation. Most of the time, the results should be the same.

The scripted test that I added modifies a file during compilation by
invoking a macro. It then effectively asserts that the file is
recompiled during the next test run by validating the compilation result
in the test. The test fails on the latest develop hash.
