Issue Description:
When using the Swift 4 package manifest format, it's possibly to declare dependencies that are only depended on by test targets. When running swift build (without the --build-tests option), the package manager currently builds all dependencies, regardless of whether they are depended on by the package's public products. This seems like an error, as test dependencies shouldn't need to be built unless I'm running the tests, or I explicitly request them.
This PR demonstrates the issue: sharplet/Regex#60 Here's the output I get from swift build:
sharplet sharplet/Regex (swift4pm)% swift package clean
sharplet sharplet/Regex (swift4pm)% swift build
Compile QuickSpecBase QuickSpecBase.m
Compile Swift Module 'Regex' (7 sources)
Compile Swift Module 'Nimble' (50 sources)
