Restarts specified by ansi are named in the common-lisp package.  Hooks into
asdf from a host lisp notwithstanding (e.g. require in sbcl), try-recompiling is
part of the protocol specified by asdf. Like (all?) other parts of the asdf
protocol (generic functions, conditions, operations, etc.), it makes sense to
have try-recompiling in the asdf package.
