Title: Proposed/dynamic deps reload

Hey.. I know you are reluctand on making large changes, but please take a look anyway.

On the positive, this patch makes ninja one of the most advanced build systems, as I am not familiar with many allowing doing this w.o. hacks. Also, potential regression cases seems to be only limited to build files specifying 'reload' rules (e.g., should have no impact on existing users).

Will appreciate your comment in either case.

Note: it doesn't really check for dep loops when reloading dependencies now, can fix it if this gonna be the major showstopper.
