How to tell if we're being loaded by ASDF?

[Faré]

One hacky way is to check whether *asdf-session* is nil or not. For
more precision, check the top of the visiting-action-list of the
*asdf-session* and see if its component has the pathname of your lisp
file (from (uiop:current-lisp-file-pathname)
