Roll-forward of the startup options refactoring.

This CL is a verbatim reproduction of the following CLs, modulo adjustments
to cope with changes at HEAD:

* commit 4a45d92130a6b1306a3840d006df165b8040a6cf: Use inheritance to support site-specific options.
* commit dfb2c73eda3d2dd8787ea9b2d0a03b49dfa2acc5: Inject the product name via the per-product main.cc files.
* unknown commit: Remove the internal/external startup_options duality.

The cause that triggered the rollbacks was fixed separately in commit 69a8d7205287bedf3a6140ec9327e2fad1758c22
as prepartory work for this roll-forward, so things should work now.

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.
