Previously, doing a full build that respected the dependency graph would cause almost every package to be rebuilt when the kernel was updated, which happened at regular intervals. The cascade feature was added to allow a developer to opt out of the full dependency tracking in the interests of speeding up iterative builds. However, making use of it required two full builds to get cargo in sync, with no reliable way to predict whether either build would be quick. This limited its usefulness in practice. Now that the kernel is a leaf package, we will only rebuild the world when glibc changes, which we expect to happen less often. Signed-off-by: Ben Cressey <[email protected]>
Loading `buildsys` as a library means that we rebuild the world when any of its dependencies change. Calling it as a binary eliminates another source of unwanted rebuilds. Signed-off-by: Ben Cressey <[email protected]>

Issue #, if available:
#245
Description of changes:
Remove the "cascade" feature, since it doesn't add as much value now that many of the early dependencies have moved into the SDK. Turn
buildsysinto a binary, to streamline the build process for both packages and images.Testing done:
