The dependency analysis was pretty coarse, and only represented dependencies from one "file" to either regular or internal headers. It turns out that the dependencies vary quite widely between that file's public header, internal header, or C implementation.
This was pointed out here: hacl-star/hacl-star#1007 (comment)
This revamps the analysis to now distinguish dependencies between { h file, internal/h file, c file } to { h file, internal/h file }.
The net result is a considerably reduced number of #includes in public headers.
