Record the category of the artifact to be linked in LinkerInput. It's currently only used for sanity checks, but the idea is that we'll use this field to decide what to do with a given linker input instead of inferring things from its file name. Also make artifact name creation a bit simpler by using the same set of variables for compiler and linker outputs. -- MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=129990944

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.
