actonc can now understand the build specification read from Build.act / build.act.json and render proper build.zig(.zon) files from this so that a `acton build` completes in a project with dependencies on other projects. Deps are first normalized through a transitive deps discovery and paths are rewritten as relative going up via the root, just like acton CLI does it. In addition, actonc will also collect transitive dependencies recursively. Note how dependencies are not built though - only `acton build` runs that, but once that is taken care of (any no further changes are made) then it is possible to just run `actonc build` to build the local project.
actonc can now build project dependencies by invoking itself recursively for all dependencies.
