Skipped by default configuration stage may be not so useful #2138

Description

@eunovm

By default BuildStream omits configuration steps on subsequent builds for optimization purposes (https://docs.buildstream.build/master/developing/workspaces.html#incremental-builds). There is a command to overcome that, but actually this optimization does not seem useful at least at the initial stages of development, e.g. when adding new elements and changing configuration frequently. For instance, I often spend much more time to understand problems and to run necessary missed configuration steps, then I get from this optimization.

It would be great to have an ability to disable this optimization either globally or for the build command. Probably, it has sense to disable it by default and to enable it, say, via an extra command-line argument.
