My main motivation for this change is to limit the amount of compile jobs to make sure my machine is still usable for something else when building a fresh Lix locally. Also made `build` a dependency of `install`: this is analogous to `make install` in CppNix where this both recompiles changed files and installs the artifacts into `outputs/out`. May be a little more pleasant to work with that, especially when you're used to contributing to CppNix. Change-Id: I321e2b0daf1c5e20f82c04e2dd158056c80ed86c
