Flip --experimental_strict_action_env on by default.

Also rename it to --incompatible_strict_action_env. See #6648 and #2574. For a while, many actions did not respect the --action_env command line option, but those have been fixed now. So, I think it's time to flip on this flag for greater hermeticity by default.

Closes #6263.

RELNOTES: The --experimental_strict_action_env option has been renamed to --incompatible_strict_action_env and is now on by default. This means Bazel will no longer use the client's PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variables in the default action environment. If the old behavior is desired, pass --action_env=PATH and --action_env=LD_LIBRARY_PATH. --noincompatible_strict_action_env will also temporarily restore the old behavior. However, as --action_env is a more general and explicit way to pass client environmental variables into actions, --noincompatible_strict_action_env will eventually be deprecated and removed. See #6648 for more details.

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 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.
