Make the system bazelrc configurable.

The master bazelrc is now defined by preprocessor macro at (Bazel's) compile time. The default is still /etc/bazel.bazelrc for most platforms, but windows now has a %ProgramData% relative default value as well. Users wishing to change this default when building Bazel for a new platform should edit BAZEL_SYSTEM_BAZELRC_PATH in src/main/cpp/BUILD.

Part of https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/4502, relevant to the duplicate issue #4809.

TESTED: default settings were tested manually, since they cannot be tested in a sandbox

RELNOTES: Windows default system bazelrc is read from the user's ProgramData if present.

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.
