When I ported reverse dependencies from Shake[1] I missed an important detail. While Shake models alwaysRerun as a dependency on an actual rule (AlwaysRerun), hls-graph models alwaysRerun by setting actionDeps to Nothing. This is important because dependencies are not computed for these rules, and therefore reverse dependency tracking doesn't do anything, which breaks correctness of dirty rebuilds This commit adds dependency tracking for alwaysRerun rules, and fixes reverse dependency tracking. The alternative would be following the Shake approach but I'm not sure what other implications this might have. [1] - ndmitchell/shake#802

When I ported reverse dependencies from Shake[1] I missed an important
detail. While Shake models
alwaysRerunas a dependency on an actual rule(AlwaysRerun), hls-graph models it by setting
actionDepstoNothing. This is important difference - it means dependencies are not computed forthese rules, and therefore reverse dependency tracking doesn't do
anything, which breaks correctness of dirty rebuilds.
This commit adds dependency tracking for
alwaysRerunrules, and fixesreverse dependency tracking. The alternative would be to follow the
Shake approach but I'm not sure what other implications this might have.
