Remove feature to allow expansion flags to have values.

It was added as a potential fix for --config (an expansion flag with values), but this would have required forcing the parser to know the config's expansions at parsing time, which is not currently possible. Instead, we will use the new addition of option-location tracking to make sure we expand options at a the correct place, even if the expansion is triggered after the fact.

This is mostly a straight forward undoing of https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/7c7255ec8d6da20526c2c4078c57aadaf3dd3612, except where the context has changed. Notably, implicit requirements are effectively treated like expansion flags, so special casing in OptionDescription could be removed.

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 system. 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.
