Fix setting default values for Pattern options

Options in bazel can have default values assigned to them, which are validated
against allowed values. We have a bug where restricting the possible values of
a Pattern will break the default value. It happens because we create
Pattern objects, which use the default (by reference) implementation of equals.
This violates the contract used by bazel converters that options created from
the same representation will return true if compared using corresponding equals
method.

Create a wrapper around Pattern which implements proper equals (compliant with
the contract). Also, specify the contract in Converter to explicitly state the
assumptions and add tests covering the RegexPatternConverter and the
problematic scenario from the bug.

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

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

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel only rebuilds 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.
