Please provide an API to allow sub-project-level build order computation.

This can be useful when a project has separate dependencies for its main code and its tests.

E.g. There are two projects: A and B.
A's main code (AM) has no dependencies.
B's main code (BM) depends on AM.
A's test code depends on AM and BM.

On project level, A nd B have circular dependencies. But with the distinction of main and test code, we have an acyclic dependency graph.
