Allow banning symlink action outputs from being uploaded to a remote cache.

This is mostly a roll-forward of 4465dae23de989f1452e93d0a88ac2a289103dd9, which
was reverted by fa36d2f48965b127e8fd397348d16e991135bfb6. The main difference is
that the new behavior is now gated behind the --noremote_allow_symlink_upload
flag.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gnOYszitgrLVet3sQk-TKGqIcpkkDsc6aw-izoo-d64
is a design proposal to support symlinks in the remote cache, which would render
this change moot. I'd like to be able to prevent incorrect cache behavior until
that change is implemented, though.

This fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/4840 (again).

Closes #5122.
