Rename --keep_incrementality_data to --track_incremental_state.

New name clears the namespace a 2nd flag that will wipe the build graph after the build. The old name would be confusing as it could easily apply to that, and so needs to be more specifically just about tracking state in the first place. The new flag can be clearly separate and about keeping state after the build.

Partial roll forward of https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/9321316b34767b06c3071b2cf2a4de189874fcce, with fixes to documentation that are still relevant.

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.
