Roll forward of https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/656a0bab1e025ff3c27d595284a4bf1c5a8d8028 with test (unknown commit) and fix.

Big round of sandbox fixes / performance improvements.

- The number of stat() syscalls in the SymlinkedSandboxedSpawn was way too high. Do less, feel better.

- When using --experimental_sandbox_base, ensure that symlinks in the path are resolved. Before this, you had to check whether on your system /dev/shm is a symlink to /run/shm and then use that instead. Now it no longer matters, as symlinks are resolved.

- Remove an unnecessary directory creation from each sandboxed invocation. Turns out that the "tmpdir" that we created was no longer used after some changes to Bazel's TMPDIR handling.

- Use simpler sandbox paths, by using the unique ID for each Spawn provided by SpawnExecutionPolicy instead of a randomly generated temp folder name. This also saves a round-trip from our VFS to NIO and back. Clean up the sandbox base before each build to ensure that the unique IDs are actually unique. ;)

- Use Java 8's Process#isAlive to check whether a process is alive instead of trying to get the exitcode and catching an exception.

Closes #4913.

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.
