Create source artifacts in the ninja_build rule instead of requiring them to be explicitly listed in the ninja_build.srcs attribute.

Pros:

* Makes it unnecessary to duplicate information in BUILD and .ninja files
* Absolves Bazel from tracking gazillions of unnecessary files

Cons:

* Can be problematic if multiple --package_path entries exist (e.g. one can have file a/b/c in one root while there is a/b/BUILD in another)
* Invalidates the invariant that "bazel query 'deps(<target>)'" returns all files that can possibly be needed to build that target

That's why Ninja support is still in experimental mode.

RELNOTES: None.
