Rewrite repository lookup to return a failed value rather than throw We need to lookup repositories as part of converting exec paths to artifacts, which in turn is needed for action cache lookups. These lookups should not cause a Skyframe exit, so we must not throw an exception here, unless the error makes it impossible to continue. Instead, we need to leave the decision whether to error out or not to the caller. Note that we may unnecessarily fetch a remote repository in order to do the action cache lookup, even if the action no longer depends on the input file, although this should only be possible for C++ compile actions. It's possible that there's another bug in the C++ compile action key computation that also contributes. This change also makes it so that the post-resolution action cache code ignores any errors wrt. repository lookup rather than throwing. If any of the paths could not be found, then the action cache lookup fails and we re-execute the corresponding action, which is exactly what should happen. Fixes #2759. PiperOrigin-RevId: 153696243

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.
