Fix bad bug with the parallel implementation of BinaryOperatorExpression. Turns out that ForkJoinTask#adapt(Callable) returns a ForkJoinTask whose Future#get on error throws a ExecutionException wrapping a RuntimeException wrapping the thrown checked exception from the callable. This is documented behavior [1] that I incorrectly didn't know about. The additional level of wrapping meant that the catch-block of the parallel implementation of BinaryOperatorExpression wasn't rethrowing the InterruptedException/QueryException that the parallel task threw. The subtly in this bug is that the query expression being evaluated needs to be of the form "e1 + e2", where evaluation of "e1" throws a QueryException even in keepGoing mode (note that most of the query errors actually go through AbstractBlazeQueryEnvironment#reportBuildFileError). The test I wrote picks on LetExpression's evaluation-time (rather than e.g. parsing time) validation of the variable name.

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.
