fix build logic due to state mutations and break the API accordingly

 * remove setName, setFilter, and setTestRunner. Please set these
   options directly when creating the CompileStep.
 * removed unused field
 * remove computeOutFileNames and inline the logic, making clear the
   goal of avoiding state mutations after the build step is created.
