Windows: add --incompatible_windows_style_arg_escaping

Add the --incompatible_windows_style_arg_escaping
flag (default: false). This flag has no effect on
platforms other than Windows.

Semantics:
- When true: subprocess arguments are escaped with
  ShellUtils.windowsEscapeArg. This is the correct
  behavior.
- When false: subprocess arguments are escaped
  with ShellUtils.quoteCommandLine. This is the
  default behavior on all platforms, but it is
  incorrect on Windows.

Incompatible flag: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7454

Related: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7122

RELNOTES[NEW]: Added --incompatible_windows_style_arg_escaping flag: enables correct subprocess argument escaping on Windows. (No-op on other platforms.)

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.
