Gustavo Jose de Sousa 31965689cb waf: persist implicit dependency information across clean
Implicit dependency scanning takes significant time and, since it doesn't
produce files, it's okay to keep the resulting information across clean
commands as long as the scanner is triggered again if there's need to. This
commit accomplishes that.

The advantage of this approach can be observed by the following timings when
building the group "bin":

 Method                                                         Time
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Fully clean build                                              5m18.633s
 Clean build with scanning result persisted                     4m23.346s
 Clean build with ccache but non-persistent scan results        1m40.125s
 Clean build with scanning results persisted and with ccache      14.843s

While at it, move management of information persisted across clean commands to
a separate module.
