Roll forward of unknown commit: Look at stderr for terminal detection.

bazel prints all the progress to stderr, yet the decision to switch between
"smart" and "dumb" output modes is done based on the stdout and stderr
connected terminals.  That breaks for a command like this:

  bazel query 'something' | wc -l

Even though all the progress is still output to the terminal through stderr,
bazel switches to "dumb" mode, printing progress messages one per line.

It seems reasonable to make the "smart"/"dumb" output mode decision based on
the stderr only.

Tested:
  With the change "bazel query '...' | wc -l" prints "smart" progress messages.

RELNOTES: Bazel will now check stderr instead of stdout to decide if it is
outputting to a terminal.  "--isatty" is deprecated, use "--is_stderr_atty"
instead.

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.
