Make the builtins registry thread-safe

It was previously assumed that safety wasn't needed because

  1) all builtins should be registered in static initializer blocks, and
  2) all retrievals should occur during Skylark evaluation, after static initialization completes.

It turns out these assumptions aren't actually true (Who would've thunk it!). SkylarkActionFactory has been observed to be initialized as late as analysis time, and retrievals occur as early as constructing a PackageFactory (when scanning the native module). The failure mode is particularly ugly: Random Skylark method lookups will fail non-deterministically.

This change guards against this by making the builtins registry implement a form of freezing. Before freezing, reads and writes are allowed and are synchronized. After freezing, only reads are allowed and they are unsynchronized for performance. BlazeRuntime is responsible for flipping the bit, and for ensuring classes like SkylarkActionFactory run their initialization by that point. Unit tests don't need to worry, since they just stay unfrozen and synchronized throughout.

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.
