By default, tools invoke `bazel build` in a way that minimizes latency before being run to ensure that they are up-to-date. The new `update_when_run` attribute can be used to tweak this behavior.

This LGTM - I think the "auto" behavior is probably a good balance for our repo since tool deps like NPM etc. don't change very often.
Also, I think it'd be cool to enable this in the buildbuddy repo to start collecting feedback (if other folks in #eng are open to it) - go / npm / yarn might be good places to start. Another good use case might be the bb command - we currently have a cli/dev.sh script but it might be cool to add bb-dev to PATH as another way to invoke the CLI from source.
