Move analysis root cause tracking to the ConfiguredTargetFunction. The main remaining problem with interleaved loading and analysis is error handling. When interleaving, we don't run a real loading phase anymore, and loading errors can occur during the analysis phase, and need to be handled there. The plan is to have ConfiguredTargetFunction throw a ConfiguredValueCreationException with a list of all loading root causes, which requires that we also catch ConfiguredValueCreationException here, which in turn breaks analysis root cause handling, as that is currently relying on Skyframe root cause tracking. Moving analysis root cause handling into CTFunction makes it possible to subsequently also implement loading root cause handling here. This is also necessary if we want to have complete root cause handling in the general case: a target may have any number (and combination) of loading and analysis root causes at the same time. For now, we only pass a single analysis root cause, which mirrors the current Skyframe-based implementation. -- MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=112930871

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.
