Add a Skyframe injected value representing a Blacklist of package patterns. Any Package name starting with a blacklisted prefix is treated as a deleted package. Note the relation to prior art in Blaze: 1. Deleted packages indicates to Blaze to pretend certain packages do not exist. The deleted packages are passed in as fully resolved package names. This is important because the invalidation logic when these values changes references the exact package names, as opposed to prefix patterns. 2. Negative patterns in target parsing. (eg, "foo/..., -foo/bar/..."). Note that if //foo:biz depends on //foo/bar:bang, we still visit that dependency. In other words, the negative patterns just control the target pattern parsing, but not the later evaluation of those targets. Blacklisting acts like both (1) and (2), but in the form of a Precomputed injected value (so modifying the value would be more expensive than modifying deleted_packages). -- MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=107431993

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.
