Add compile_jars for Skylark to JavaProvider

Add compile_jars Skylark accessor to JavaProvider. This outputs the
non-recursive set of jars needed to build with this target. Allows
Skylark tools to get the same set of compile_jars that JavaLibrary is
getting.

Added test that verifies Skylark was getting lists from both
compile_jars and transitive_runtime_jars of the expected length. Then,
verified (via test code) those nested sets were identical to the ones
provided by the java_library.

To reviewers:
First, would like to add documentation flags to these fields in
JavaProvider. Is it possible, instead of adding them to this map to
follow use the @SkylarkCallable annotation to expose methods on
JavaProvider instead? It would then also be nice to mark these as
experimental since won't really know the final API until
java_skylark_library sandwich is done.

I also tested this locally via bazel build //src:bazel and then doing
~/bazelsandbox/bazel/bazel-bin/src/bazel test SomeTarget in a different
repo that had a .bzl file trying to use compile_jars.

Bazel (Beta)

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

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.
