Make client-provided options an rc source

The client provides information about whether the terminal is a tty, and
which width the output should be formatted for. Passing this information
as explicit command-line arguments has the disadvantage that it overrides
any setting in configuration files. While usually there is no one-size-fits-all
value for terminal width, it doesn't make sense either to have an option
where the user cannot set a default. Fix this by providing the client options
as least imported rc-source.

This is a roll-forward of commit 044adedc70de040475443e52eb1a3c692159790e

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.
