Bucklescript does not generate any info for transitively dependent projects

[Coobaha]

@bobzhang It looks like lib/bs/.sourcedirs.json is only generated for root compilation. Should it be also generated inside dependencies recursively?

There's a different more basic question: even if it's only generated for the root, it could contain information about transitively dependent packages.

I am now trying to make symlinked folders to be watchable from bsb -w. Adding lib/bs/.sourcedirs.json to all dependencies will help to achieve this (to read their dirs)

[bobzhang]

Note lib/bs/.sourcedirs.json was introduced for some internal use, it happens to be useful for genType, this seems to be the good move. be watchable is not enough though
