Async {AbstractFileWrite,TemplateExpansion}Action

While the contents of these files have to be evaluated locally, we have
code to write the files to remote storage, which can block the current
thread for at least one network round-trip time. These blocks show up in
the profiler, even though they don't consume any local CPU, making it
more difficult to interpret the results.

This change may improve build performance in cases where Bazel has to
write a lot of such files and also has different actions which could
execute in parallel. However, I did not measure any improvements in the
builds I tested.

Progress on #6394.

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.
