Details

It would be nice to have a quick way to ask `mach bootstrap` to ensure that all my build requirements are up-to-date without it asking me any questions. Maybe something like `mach bootstrap --check`? It could simply run the latest bootstrap version checks etc on your system using the answers you gave previously for `mach bootstrap` to make sure everything is up-to-date.

To make this possible we'd probably need to record something in the mozbuild state directory about which configuration(s) bootstrap was previously run for so that we can run the configuration for those in a prompt-free mode.
Could that not possibly be the default, then a switch to override
it to force installation?
