A bundle stands on the toolchain it is compiled in (hq issue 211)

A manifest names its toolchain by language, not in build.on, so the planner did not know a bundle
depends on the module that publishes its toolchain and built the two in one tier: the bundle
against the old toolchain, recorded as built from the new commit. The edge is read from the
manifest, so it holds before any build recorded it, and a toolchain that moves rebuilds every
bundle compiled in it.
