Release 0.28.0 (2019-07-10)

Baseline: 2e374a9c6e3d4ed71f0145de287c4b2fe43c76d6

Cherry picks:

   + 6d0b14b95a71175362030b4811ca74512b00a890:
     rule_test: apply "tags" to all rules in the macro

Incompatible changes:

  - Add --incompatible_enable_profile_by_default to enable the JSON
    profile by default.
  - The --incompatible_windows_style_arg_escaping flag is flipped to
    "true", and the "false" case unsupported. Bazel no longer accepts
    this flag.

Important changes:

  - Bazel now supports hiding compiler warnings for targets that
    you're not explicitly building (see
    https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/user-manual.html#flag--au
    to_output_filter).
  - Flag `--incompatible_restrict_escape_sequences` is added. See
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8380
  - The "info" command now supports the "starlark-semantics"
    argument, which outputs a representation of the effective Starlark
    semantics option values.
  - The `outputs` parameter of the `rule()` function is deprecated
    and attached to flag `--incompatible_no_rule_outputs_param`.
    Migrate rules to use `OutputGroupInfo` or `attr.output` instead.
    See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7977 for more info.
  - When `--incompatible_strict_action_env` is enabled, the default
    `PATH` now includes `/usr/local/bin`.
  - Turn on --experimental_build_setting_api by default for starlark
    build settings (see
    https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/config.html#user-
    defined-build-settings for more info)
  - `@bazel_tools//tools/jdk:toolchain_java10` and
    `@bazel_tools//tools/jdk:toolchain_java11` are now available to
    enable java 10, respectively java 11 language level support.
  - The `command` parameter of the `actions.run_shell()` function
    will be restricted to only accept strings (and not string
    sequences). This check is attached to flag
    `--incompatible_run_shell_command_string`. One may migrate by
    using the `arguments` parameter of `actions.run()` instead. See
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/5903 for more info.
  - Incompatible change
    `--incompatible_use_platforms_repo_for_constraints` has been
    added. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8622 for
    details.
  - Incompatible change
    `--incompatible_use_platforms_repo_for_constraints` has been
    added. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8622 f...
  - Bazel's C++ autoconfiguration now understands `BAZEL_LINKLIBS`
    environment variable to specify system libraries that should be
    appended to the link command line.
  - paths under the execution root starting with "." or "_" will be
    re-linked across builds
  - execution_log_json_file now allows actions without outputs.
  - Labels aapt as deprecated for aapt_version, and heavily endorses
    aapt2.
  - Update doc links still pointing to cc_binary.features to point to
    common features
  - Incompatible change
    `--incompatible_use_platforms_repo_for_constraints` has been
    added. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8622 for
    details.
    RELNOTES:
  - --incompatible_disable_nocopts flag has been added. See
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8706 for details.
  - Fixed treatment of <dist:module /> tags in AndroidManifest.xml
  - Fixed asset precedence for android_binary rules with aapt2.
  - Bazel now officially supports running on CentOS 7.
  - The runtime dynamic libraries are no longer in default output
    group of cc_binary.
  - set the FDOBuildType as CSFDO for binaries built with
    --cs_fdo_absolute_path.
  - Bazel can now be bootstrapped and built on arm64 platforms
    without requiring any flags or patches.
  - Fixed treatment of AndroidManifest.xml attributes which contained
    XML escaping
  - Retire experimental blaze flag
    experimental_link_compile_output_separately. The same behavior is
    available through the feature dynamic_link_test_srcs.
  - --incompatible_load_java_rules_from_bzl was added to forbid
    loading the native java rules directly. See more on tracking
    issue #8746
  - Turn on --experimental_build_setting_api by default for starlark
    build settings (see
    https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/config.html#user-
    defined-build-settings for more info)
  - Attribute names are going to be restricted and must be
    syntactically valid identifiers.

    ingored, https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8723
