bazel packages: record load graph (DAG over Modules) in Module and Package
This is a preparatory step for a new, rich query output format that will provide
all the information needed to implement stardoc as a client of blaze, thus allowing
us to delete the fakebuildapi implementations and the starlarkbuildapi abstractions.
In some situations this could increase live heap usage by causing a package
to keep its loaded modules live for longer. Specifically, if packages P and Q
both load module M, then M is changed and package Q is reloaded, the stale
package P remains live, and it holds a reference to the stale M, whereas before
it did not. The next time P is loaded, the stale P and M are evicted.
Note that today, P already keeps alive any modules required by rules instantiated
by P, so an additional cost will be incurred only if P uses functions ("macros")
or data defined in M, but no rules. I expect the effect to be quite marginal.
A number of opportunities for simplification (and memory saving) have been
identified and will be acted on in a follow-up.
Also:
- define BazelModuleContext.of helper function.

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two
Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.
Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel rebuilds only 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.
