Feature request: Expose sets of library files and directories needed for the compiler #1092
Description
Feature request
Continuing discussion from #1013 (comment)
Part of unit test compilation in arduino_ci involves determining which files and directories from a library should be presented to the compiler. I assume that arduino-cli already has logic to determine this same information, so I'm hopeful that it's as simple as exposing that behind a command or two.
This would eliminate any possible gaps in compiler behavior between the unit test compiler and the official one, especially if the behavior changes.

"common_flags": [
"-std=c++0x",
"-O1"
],
"dependencies": [
"SomeDependency"
],
"include_dirs": [
"/path/to/library/src"

],
"source_files_recursive": [
"/path/to/library/src/hello.cpp",
"/path/to/SomeDependency/src/hi.cpp"
