[MNG-7026] Ability to only build direct dependants

**[Chadi](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=chadiem)** opened **[MNG-7026](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7026?redirect=false)** and commented

We are an organization with a large reactor. When we update a project X, we would like to have the possibility to compile the artifacts that directly depend on X, without having to recompile everything.

The fix itself is trivial and consists of traversing in non-recursive mode. I can prepare a PR if you are OK with the request.

Its activation could be done using a flag such as --amdd, --also-make-direct-dependents, or maybe --also-make-dependents=direct

What do you think?
