This essentially shaves off about 10% off of an incremental build after
project change and potentially more if you're changing stuff like
`welcome` that's very close to the `zed` crate in the dep graph. That's
because macro expansion takes place even in incremental builds it seems?
And zed (lib) + zed (bin) could take up to 4 seconds out of an
incremental build, which is a *lot* in a 10s build. In reality though it
shaves 1 second off of 5 seconds incremental 'welcome'/ 1s off of 10s
'project' builds.
Note that we had `assets` crate in the past (removed in #2575 /cc
@maxbrunsfeld), but this is a bit different, because `assets` is a
dependency of *just* zed and nothing else. We essentially cache macro
expansion results ourselves.
