Make globs work in remote repositories. This involved quite a few changes, mainly changing a bunch of places where we refer to packages by a PathFragment to PackageIdentifier. The only wart is the code in PathPackageLocator: ideally, it would just call into PackageLookupFunction. Unfortunately, it is (through globbing and Parser.include) called from within a Skyframe function, and we don't want to have two eval() calls going on at the same time, so we cannot use that. There is a potential correctness issue there: PathPackageLocator now assumes where external repositories are put and assumes that they are there when it gets control, but my understanding is that the associated RepositoryValue is always evaluated before, so it works out okay. -- MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=97647787

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.
