Enable recompilation when no avro schemas are in project

[kellen]

Currently a project without any avro schemas, but with a avroSpecificRecords configuration will not recompile those schemas.

If avroSpecificRecords contains records, this would always recompile those schemas.

I don't see why we need this:

• if any avro file is changed, we recompile the avroSpecificRecords
• if we change the avroSpecificRecords, we need to call reload, that invalidates all cache.

I added a test in #173 to illustrate this. The sbt output after the test step is

We see the record being re-compiled.

[RustedBones]

Ideally, we do not want to recompile those every time since this will impact all files including the model.
I think we can integrate that in the caching mechanism so it is compiled only once

Agreed, my patience and sbt knowledge was insufficient when writing this.
