The linker is implemented using a Babel transform such that Babel needs
to parse and walk a source file to find the declarations that need to be
compiled. If it can be determined that a source file is known not to
contain any declarations the parsing and walking can be skipped as a
performance improvement. This commit adds an exposed function for tools
that integrate the linker to use to allow short-circuiting of the linker
transform.
