feat: support only updating existing BUILD files #1921
What package or component does this PR mostly affect?
all
What does this PR do? Why is it needed?
Add an option to enable only updating existing BUILDs and not creating any new ones.
I think this is common among extension authors, normally implemented with a quick-exit within Configure if the *rule.File is nil. However all the subdirs then need to be manually traversed to find files in subdirectories with no BUILD.
I've always maintained a patch similar to this PR to avoid plugins having to do manual fs operations.
Close #1832
