Re: [whatwg/fetch] make local failed (#1198)

I'm confused that a --skip-manifest did something; it shouldn't have. It just does the full slow download of all the original sources, which is what [bikeshed-data](https://github.com/tabatkins/bikeshed-data) does to assemble the files that you download during a normal update.

I *suspect* that @yoichio might be on a slightly older Bikeshed version; I had a bug earlier this year where the manifest handling was incorrect and it could get stuck in an inconsistent state that made it *think* files were up-to-date when they weren't. That was fixed a while back, tho, in the last release I made to Pip.

Ignoring the possibility of a buggy old Bikeshed version, tho, we could just add a `bikeshed update` to the spec generation; it would add a network roundtrip to check the manifest, and would probably download things a few times a day, but if you run `make` repeatedly in a reasonably short period you won't get any updates and will just be paying for the download of the manifest. Up to y'all whether that seems worthwhile.
