Describe the bug
Typical workflow for using forge verify-bytecode is to check out a commit at a given production tag (e.g., v1.3.0) and run forge verify-bytecode against that code.
A few times I have run into an issue where I'm confused why it's not matching the bytecode, only to realize I needed to do a forge clean. Having forge verify-bytecode auto-compile changed files similar to how forge test works would solve this.
