Update the glob documentation to reflect a semantic change made a very long time ago where glob(['**'], exclude_directories = 0) doesn't match the package's directory. Also add tests for this behavior. Also update Skyframe globbing to have these semantics. Any discrepancy has always been problematic, but now that we have Skyframe-hybrid globbing it's a lot more dangerous and consequential. Alternatives considered: do this the other way around (keep the stale documentation as-is and instead update legacy globbing). This would potentially require changing existing usages from stuff like 'data = glob(["**"], exclude_directories = 0)' to 'data = [x for x in glob(["**"], exclude_directories = 0) where x != '']'. I think this is too messy, so long as there is a valid use-case for globs matching directories in the first place. -- MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=115511504

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.
