Make the `build/check-requires-timestamp` target work with namespace provides in cases where the namespace provide isn't required by a module that provides constructors or other objects within that namespace. This may seem a bit odd, but if I want to provide `foo.bar.Bam` it isn't strictly necessary that my module require `foo.bar`.
To make this build target work, we stick with the following convention (used in the Closure Library):
* If you want to make a function available via `goog.require`, use `goog.provide` to provide the object of which the function is a member (e.g. to make the `foo.bar.baz` function available, use `goog.provide('foo.bar')`).
