Retain first error message during transitive traversal

Previously, a TransitiveTraversalFunction computed a value that
contained an exception only if the exception resulted from a failure
to load the function's immediate target. If the target had transitive
dependencies on other targets, those other targets would be loaded, but
any errors resulting from loading those targets would not be retained.

SkyQueryEnvironment impromperly used a SkyFrame mechanism (which was
solely intended to ensure equivalent semantics between keep-going and
no-keep-going evaluations) to discover errors in the set of transitive
children of TransitiveTraversal nodes.

In order to transition SkyQueryEnvironment away from that mechanism,
this CL changes TransitiveTraversalFunction to remember the first error
message encountered while loading its target and its transitive
dependencies.

By remembering just the error message as a string, and not the full
exception object, this also helps TransitiveTraversalValue have more
consistent equality semantics for change-pruning.

Bazel (Beta)

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:

  • A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.

  • An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.

  • Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
