Missing `priv` library does not trigger re-compile

Hey thanks for the project, really useful 😄

When I delete the .so files in the priv/native/ folder, then the following mix test invocation will error that they are not found:

error: module ErasureCoding.Native is not loaded and could not be found
    │
  3 │   doctest ErasureCoding.Native
    │   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    │
    └─ test/bindings/erasure_coding_test.exs:3: Bindings.ErasureCoding.Test (module)

20:57:18.167 [warning] The on_load function for module Elixir.ErasureCoding.Native returned:
{:error,
 {:load_failed,
  ~c"Failed to load NIF library: 'dlopen(... 'graymatter/priv/native/liberasure_coding.so' (no such file)'"}}

I got around this by adding:

@external_resource "priv/native/liberasure_coding.so"

To my NIF module here. Is this expected or could maybe Rustler already generate this attribute in its derive macro?

Having it auto recompile in these cases helps when Ctrl-C-ing the build or in CI where caching does not restore everything. Hopefully this is easy to reproduce, otherwise I will make an example project.
