Fixes bugs so that we can build bazel with bazel on Windows

src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/exec/SymlinkTreeHelper.java:
    enable --windows_compatible flag on Windows to make build-runfiles.exe work.
scritps/bootstrap/compile.sh:
    --windows_compatible will also be passed to a dummy build-runfiles.exe defined in complie.sh.
    Which is actully a batch script, modify it to make it work.

-----
With the changes above, we are able to build bazel with bazel. But when you try to
run ./compile.sh compile /path/to/bazel again without clean up tmp directory, it will fail with
a permission deny error. The reason seems to be that you can't use build-runfile.exe to build the
same hard link twice, still trying to solve that.

Bazel (Beta)

{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.
