Add a feature to require explicitly passing module maps.
Currently, module maps contain both "use <module>" entries that specify which
modules the current module map depends on, and "extern module" entries that
provide paths where to load the dependent module maps from.
This change adds a feature "module_map_without_extern_module", which instructs
blaze to not write the "extern module" entries into the module map. Instead,
the crosstool needs to add -fmodule-file flags for each dependent module file
where needed for the compile via the new build variable
"dependent_module_map_files".
Note that the feature is phrased negatively ("_without_") in order to simplify
the roll-out of this feature: as long as crosstools do not specify any
features, they still want the old behavior.
We cannot make the feature positive and add it to the legacy configuration, as
we currently cannot remove features that have already been set in the crosstool
file.

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.
