Store TTL in RemoteFileArtifactValue

When building without the bytes, Bazel stores `RemoteFileArtifactValue` in skyframe (inmemory) and in local action cache which represents a file that is stored remotely. Bazel assumes that the remote file will never expire which is wrong. In practice, remote cache often evict files due to space constraint, and when it happens, the builds could fail.

This PR introduces flag `--experimental_remote_cache_ttl` which tells Bazel at least how long the remote cache could store a file after returning a reference of it to Bazel. Bazel calculates the TTL of the file and store it in the `RemoteFileArtifactValue`. In an incremental build, Bazel will discard the `RemoteFileArtifactValue` and rerun the generating actions if it finds out that the `RemoteFileArtifactValue` is expired. The new field `expireAtEpochMilli` replaces `actionId` (deleted by f62a8b9f6a7e840c648f44f094390c3b85b236df), so there shouldn't be memory regression.

There are two places Bazel checks the TTL:
1. If the skyframe has in-memory state about previous builds (e.g. incremental builds), the `SkyValue`s are marked as dirty if the `RemoteFileArtifactValue` is expired.
2. When checking local action cache, if the `RemoteFileArtifactValue` is expired, the cache entry is ignored.

So that the generating actions can be re-executed.

Part of #16660.

Closes #17639.

RELNOTES: Add flag `--experimental_remote_cache_ttl` and set the default value to 3 hours.

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel rebuilds only what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.

  • One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  • Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.

  • Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
