John Ericson 0f2b5146c7 Make restarting state machines explicit
If my memory is correct, @edolstra objected to modifying `wantedOutputs`
upon falling back to doing a build (as we did before), because we should
only modify it in response to new requests --- *actual* wants --- and
not because we are "incidentally" building all the outptus beyond what
may have been requested.

That's a fair point, and the alternative is to replace the boolean soup
with proper enums: Instead of modifying `wantedOuputs` som more, we'll
modify `needsRestart` to indicate we are passed the need.
