Starlark is perfectly capable of doing what we need and this avoids the dependency on a host Python

so i think we're getting the watch = "auto" behavior here, just want to confirm that's what we want?

When llvm is consumed from another repo, auto will resolve to off and the extension will invalidate when module is bumped - seems fine.

When llvm own module is built, auto will resolve to on so the overlay will get rematerialized if overlay dir changes, which seems good (live reload on BUILD changes). It's also going to invalidate sometimes when source files change but hopefully it's fast enough that it's not a huge deal? :/

(The 2nd case might be a bit academic, I actually couldn't get LLVM to build on its own anyway, maybe I was holding it wrong)

@dzbarsky Congratulations on having your first Pull Request (PR) merged into the LLVM Project!

Your changes will be combined with recent changes from other authors, then tested by our build bots. If there is a problem with a build, you may receive a report in an email or a comment on this PR.

Please check whether problems have been caused by your change specifically, as the builds can include changes from many authors. It is not uncommon for your change to be included in a build that fails due to someone else's changes, or infrastructure issues.

How to do this, and the rest of the post-merge process, is covered in detail here.

If your change does cause a problem, it may be reverted, or you can revert it yourself. This is a normal part of LLVM development. You can fix your changes and open a new PR to merge them again.

If you don't get any reports, no action is required from you. Your changes are working as expected, well done!
