Expose parameterized aspects to Skylark.
There are no syntactic changes within Skylark; the only difference is that aspects may have non-implicit attributes, so long as they have type 'string' and use the 'values' restriction. Such aspects may only be requested by rules which have attributes with types and names matching the non-implicit, non-defaulted attributes of the aspect.
This is not yet a complete match for native AspectParameters functionality since implicit attributes cannot yet be affected by attribute values, but that will be added later.
Implicit aspects are still required to have default values. Non-implicit aspect attributes are considered "required" unless they have a default value. An error will occur if they are applied to a rule that does not "cover" all required attributes by having attributes of matching name and type. While non-implicit aspect attributes with a default are not required, they will still take on the value of a rule attribute with the same name and type if it is present.
Aspects with non-implicit, non-defaulted ("required") attributes cannot be requested on the command line, only by a rule.

{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.
