Restrict bazelrc-set flag aliases to the "build" command.

This prevents being able to build with an alias that "$ bazel
canonicalize-flags" doesn't understand. This is a safety check for build and CI
pipelines that process invocation flags through canonicalize-flags.

Example scenario this fixes:

$ cat .bazelrc
test --flag_alias=myalias=//foo
build:myconfig --flag_alias=configalias=//foo
build:myconfig --configalias=5

$ bazel test //:mytest --myalias=blah
<succeeds>
$ bazel canonicalize-flags --for_command=test -- --myalias=blah
ERROR: Unrecognized option: --myalias=blah

$ bazel build //:mybuild --config=myconfig
<succeeds>
$ bazel canonicalize-flags -- --configalias=4
ERROR: Unrecognized option: --configalias=4

We could potentially expand CanonicalizeCommand.java to inherit from
TestCommand.class instead of BuildCommand.class if there was a use case for
loosening this restriction.

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.
