Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I noticed that there is an option "skipIfSpecIsUnchanged" in the maven plugin which causes the plugin to skip
generating code if the source template has not changed. That option is not available in the gradle plugin.
It would be nice to have it there as well, to reduce build times.
Describe the solution you'd like
I think it would be possible to implement the same solution as in the maven plugin.
The java code needs to be somewhat adapted to kotlin, but i think it would be easy.
The way it works in the maven plugin is that hash files are generated which is then compared
during subsequent builds.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I guess i could always switch to maven.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing Maven plugin implementation of skipIfSpecIsUnchanged and the Gradle plugin code that generates source files. Compare how the Maven plugin creates and checks hash files, then adapt that behavior for Gradle and verify that unchanged specifications skip generation on subsequent builds.
