#85 Utilize lastModified times of source and output to skip annotation processing work in progress

Implement lastModified check for sources

• The annotation processor should be able to skip the annotation
• processing if the sources haven't changed since the last processing.
• This will speed up project builds considerably since for example the
• JPA metamodel generator will not run if the entities haven't been
• modified, which will save the compiler of having to recompile your
• whole module.
• Using the option skipWithoutSourceChanges you can enable this
• behavior. By default it is turned off to maintain the current behavior.
• This change doesn't track individual files, as there need not be a 1-1
• mapping between the origin of the annotation processor and the
• generated sources. The plugin rather determines from all source
• locations what the most recent last modified time is, and does the same
• for all the files in the output folder.
• This cuts down rebuild times on my current project by a half or so
• (going from over 2 minutes to just 1 minute).
