RELNOTES[NEW]: Add --modify_execution_info, a flag to customize action execution info.

Execution info is a map of string key-value pairs used by certain actions.  The info forms part of the cache key and is available to the execution platform.  Action types which support execution info include tests, genrules, skylark actions, c++ build/link actions, and java compiler actions.

The flag contains some simple syntax and filtering: each modifier takes two arguments, a regular expression and a string value with a required "+" or "-" prefix.  The regular expression specifies which actions to apply to based on mnemonic.  The "-" prefix indicates that the string value should be removed from the execution info map; the "+" means it should be added or replaced.

The execution info items added by this flag all have empty string values.

The flag applies with tests and genrules which currently specify execution info using "requires-* tags.  For example, if a rule has tags=["requires-x"], "--modify_execution_info.*=-requires-x" will remove it, and "--modify_execution_info.*=+requires-y" will add to it.
