What do you mean by "size of the string to be hashed"? Looking at
start_asynchronous_build_id_if_needed, it wants to know the size of
the output file, which is determined by Layout::finalize before
Layout_task_runner::run calls queue_final_tasks. I think everything
you need to know is known at that point.
