Description
### Description of the bug:
Changing `--worker_extra_flag` does not cause actions to be executed with new flags. Need to execute `bazel clean` to use new values.
### Which category does this issue belong to?
_No response_
### What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.
Got:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/bazelbuild/examples bazel-examples
$ cd bazel-examples/java-tutorial
$ bazel build //:ProjectRunner
...
INFO: 8 processes: 5 internal, 2 linux-sandbox, 1 worker.
INFO: Build completed successfully, 8 total actions
$ bazel build //:ProjectRunner --worker_extra_flag=Javac=--some-invalid-flag
...
INFO: 1 process: 1 internal.
INFO: Build completed successfully, 1 total action
```
Expected:
```
$ bazel clean
$ bazel build //:ProjectRunner --worker_extra_flag=Javac=--some-invalid-flag
...
BazelJavaBuilder threw exception: unknown option : '--persistent_worker'
```
After cleaning cache getting expected error, as default java worker does not support extra worker flags.
