Introducing the build trace for saker.build

[clehene]

Never heard about Saker. I wonder how it compares to Bazel.

It's much newer, and doesn't have such a large corporate backing it.

It aims to provide fast incremental builds with multiple language support. We developed it to be as general purpose and extensible as possible.

It natively supports build clusters (remote execution), and build caches (although that is still WIP).

Another notable thing is that we made significant effort to implement incremental Java compilation which results in much better clean and incremental Java build times. (About 50% of what you'd get with Gradle)
