No longer allow exceptions to action conflict checking.

Before, we did not allow two output artifacts in the same build to prefix each other, eg "out/foo/bar" and "out/foo" could not both be represented.

Unfortunately, there were unintentional exceptions for such conflicts within a single action, which I believe date back to olden times when not all actions ran remotely and Blaze actions themselves were not as nicely behaved.

In modern times, this can happen when a Starlark action creates a tree artifact and a file artifact underneath the tree. This is really strange (what should a downstream action that depends on the tree artifact see?). Forbid such a construct.

RELNOTES[INC]: Tree artifacts and regular artifact paths can no longer overlap.
