Baseline: f3ae88ee043846e7acdffd645137075a4e72c573

Cherry picks: - c58ba098526b748f9c73e6229cafd74748205aa1: Release to GCS: put the final release in its own directory - 0acead4ea3631240659836ce6ecd6d7f67fd352b: Update protobuf to latest master at a64497c and apply @laszlocsomor's latest changes from https://github.com/google/protobuf/pull/2969 on top of it. - d0242ce4a87929f2528f4602d0fb09d1ccfcea94: Make symlinks consistent - d953ca8b87a46decbce385cebb446ae0dd390881: Clean VanillaJavaBuilder output directories

Incompatible changes:

Converting artifacts to strings and printing them now return "File" instead of "Artifact" to be consistent with the type name.
The return type of depset.to_list() is now a list rather than a frozen list. (Modifying the list has no effect on the depset.)
Bazel now prints logs in single lines to java.log
--use_dash, --dash_url and --dash_secret are removed.
Remote repositories must define any remote repositories they themselves use (e.g., if @x//:foo depends on @y//:bar, @y must be defined in @x's WORKSPACE file).
Remote repositories must define any remote repositories they themselves use (e.g., if @x//:foo depends on @y//:bar, @y must be defined in @x's WORKSPACE file).
objc_xcodeproj has been removed, use tulsi.bazel.build instead.

New features:

If grte_top is a label, it can now follow non-configurable redirects.
Optional coverage_files attribute to cc_toolchain
"query --output=build" now includes select()s
Raw LLVM profiles are now supported.

Important changes:

Automatically generate Proguard mapping when resource shrinking and Proguard are enabled.
New rules in Bazel: proto_library, java_lite_proto_library, java_proto_library and cc_proto_library
Activate the "dead_strip" feature if objc binary stripping is enabled.
More stable naming scheme for lambda classes in desugared android code
Convert --use_action_cache to a regular option
Per-architecture dSYM binaries are now propagated by apple_binary's AppleDebugOutputsProvider.
Avoid factory methods when desugaring stateless lambdas for Android
desugar calls to Objects.requireNonNull(Object o) with o.getClass() for android
Add an --copy_bridges_from_classpath argument to android desugaring tool
Change how desugar finds desugared classes to have it working on Windows
Evaluation of commands on TargetsBelowDirectory patterns (e.g. //foo/...) matching packages that fail to load now report more detailed error messages in keep_going mode.
Allow to have several inputs and outputs
Repository context's execute() function can print stdout/stderr while running. To enable, pass quiet=False.
Bazel can now be built with a bundled version of the OpenJDK. This makes it possible to use Bazel on systems without a JDK, or where the installed JDK is too old.
The --jobs flag now defaults to "auto", which causes Bazel to use a reasonable degree of parallelism based on the local machine's capacity.
Bazel benchmark (perf.bazel.build) supports Java and Cpp targets.
no factory methods generated for lambda expressions on android
The Linux sandbox no longer changes the user to 'nobody' by default, instead the current user is used as is. The old behavior can be restored via the --sandbox_fake_username flag.
/tmp and /dev/shm are now writable by default inside the Linux sandbox.
Bazel can now use the process-wrapper + symlink tree based sandbox implementation in FreeBSD.
turn on --experimental_incremental_dexing_error_on_missed_jars by default.
All android_binarys are now signed with both Apk Signature V1 and V2. See https://source.android.com/security/apksigning/v2.html for more details.
Windows MSVC wrappers: Not filtering warning messages anymore, use --copt=-w and --host_copt=-w to suppress them.
A downloader bug was fixed that prevented RFC 7233 Range connection resumes from working with certain HTTP servers
Introduces experimental android_device rule for configuring and launching Android emulators.
For boolean flags, setting them to false using --no_ is deprecated. Use --no without the underscore, or --=false instead.
Add --experimental_android_compress_java_resources flag to store java resources as compressed inside the APK.
Removed --experimental_use_jack_for_dexing and libname.jack output of android_library.
blaze canonicalize-flags now takes a --show_warnings flag
Changing --invocation_policy will no longer force a server restart.
Bazel now supports Android NDK14.
android_binary multidex should now work without additional flags.
new option for bazel canonicalize-flags, --canonicalize_policy
android_library exports_manifest now defaults to True.
Fix select condition intersections.
Adds a --override_repository option that takes a repository name and path. This forces Bazel to use the directory at that path for the repository. Example usage: --override\_repository=foo=/home/user/gitroot/foo.
fix idempotency issue with desugaring lambdas in interface initializers for android
--experimental_android_use_singlejar_for_multidex is now a no-op and will eventually be removed.
Every local_repository now requires a WORKSPACE file.
Remove jack and jill attributes of the android_sdk rule.
Add Skylark stubs needed to remove sysroot from CppConfiguration.
Desugar try-with-resources so that this language feature is available to deveces with API level under 19.
The flag --worker_max_retries was removed. The WorkerSpawnStrategy no longer retries execution of failed Spawns, the reason being that this just masks compiler bugs and isn't done for any other execution strategy either.
Bazel will no longer gracefully restart workers that crashed / quit, instead this triggers a build failure.
All java resources are now compressed in android_binary APKs by default.
All java resources are now compressed in android_binary APKs by default.
android_ndk_repository now creates a cc_library (@androidndk//:cpufeatures) for the cpufeatures library that is bundled in the Android NDK. See https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cpu-features.html for more details.
'output_groups' and 'instrumented_files' cannot be specified in DefaultInfo.
You can increase the CPU reservation for tests by adding a "cpu:" (e.g. "cpu:4" for four cores) tag to their rule in a BUILD file. This can be used if tests would otherwise overwhelm your system if there's too much parallelism.
Deprecate use_singlejar_for_proguard_libraryjars and force behavior to always on.
