/**
* Returns a string encoding all of the significant behaviour of this Action that might affect the
* output. The general contract of <code>getKey</code> is this: if the work to be performed by the
* execution of this action changes, the key must change.
*
* <p>As a corollary, the build system is free to omit the execution of an Action <code>a1</code>
* if (a) at some time in the past, it has already executed an Action <code>a0</code> with the
* same key as <code>a1</code>, (b) the names and contents of the input files listed by <code>
* a1.getInputs()</code> are identical to the names and contents of the files listed by <code>
* a0.getInputs()</code>, and (c) the names and values in the client environment of the variables
* listed by <code>a1.getClientEnvironmentVariables()</code> are identical to those listed by
* <code>a0.getClientEnvironmentVariables()</code>.
*
* <p>Examples of changes that should affect the key are:
*
* <ul>
* <li>Changes to the BUILD file that materially affect the rule which gave rise to this Action.
* <li>Changes to the command-line options, environment, or other global configuration resources
* which affect the behaviour of this kind of Action (other than changes to the names of the
* input/output files, which are handled externally).
* <li>An upgrade to the build tools which changes the program logic of this kind of Action
* (typically this is achieved by incorporating a UUID into the key, which is changed each
* time the program logic of this action changes).
* </ul>

* <pre>
* <var>Summary</var>
