SmithyExtension options are not correctly modeled as task inputs

[rschmitt]

The SmithyBuildJar task runs the following code at execution time (i.e. in SmithyBuildJar::execute):

        // Merge or overwrite?
        if (smithyBuildConfigs == null) {
            setSmithyBuildConfigs(extension.getSmithyBuildConfigs());
            getLogger().debug("Setting SmithyBuildJar smithyBuildConfigs from extension: {}", smithyBuildConfigs);
        }

This is effectively an unmodeled task input and is therefore incorrect. It can cause Gradle to skip this task entirely, or to fail to evaluate a lazy file collection provided to the extension as an input. To fix this, you either have to share the same FileCollection instance between SmithyExtension and SmithyBuildJar, or you have to return both instances as @InputFiles from SmithyBuildJar.

Encountered a situation where this specifically impacted me, was able to work around it via:

tasks {
  smithyBuildJar {
    smithyBuildConfigs = smithy.smithyBuildConfigs
  }
}

The 0.8.0 release to has updated plugin tasks correctly model task inputs.
If you find there are still issues when testing out this new release please feel free to re-open this ticket.
