Description
To speed things up when running gren run --package, we can compile to author.package.Module.version instead of app and then check if it exists before compiling.
We can't do this for modules in the local project since we can't account for code changes.

Research direction
Start with the implementation of gren run --package and trace where package modules are compiled to app. Check how compiled package modules can be stored under author.package.Module.version, while local-project modules continue compiling normally; done means repeated package runs reuse existing compiled modules without caching local-project code.
