dotnet watch (--) --no-buld still builds

[danroth27]

I tried both dotnet watch --no-build and dotnet watch -- --no-build but both seem to still build the project:

C:\BlazorApp> dotnet watch --no-build
dotnet watch 🔥 Hot reload enabled. For a list of supported edits, see https://aka.ms/dotnet/hot-reload.
dotnet watch 💡 Press Ctrl+R to restart.
dotnet watch 🔨 Building C:\BlazorApp\BlazorApp.csproj ...
dotnet watch 🔨 Build succeeded: C:\BlazorApp\BlazorApp.csproj

I believe the arguments after the -- should be passed through to dotnet run.

We need to make sure the binaries are up-to-date before we can start applying Hot Reload changes.
If the binaries were not up to date Hot Reload would not work well.
