Driver Rework Patch
This patch comprises of four different but closely related ideas. The net result is fixing a large number of open issues with the driver whilst making it simpler to understand. 1. Use the hash of the source file to determine whether the source file has changed or not. This makes the recompilation checking more robust to modern build systems which are liable to copy files around changing their modification times. 2. Remove the concept of a "stable module", a stable module was one where the object file was older than the source file, and all transitive dependencies were also stable. Now we don't rely on the modification time of the source file, the notion of stability is moot. 3. Fix TH/plugin recompilation after the removal of stable modules. The TH recompilation check used to rely on stable modules. Now there is a uniform and simple way, we directly track the linkables which were loaded into the interpreter whilst compiling a module. This is an over-approximation but more robust wrt package dependencies changing. 4. Fix recompilation checking for dynamic object files. Now we actually check if the dynamic object file exists when compiling with -dynamic-too Fixes #19774 #19771 #19758 #17434 #11556 #9121 #8211 #16495 #7277 #16093
