Add support for loading .scl files

The Starlark Configuration Language (SCL) is a dialect of Starlark that resembles pure Starlark with just a few Bazel symbols (namely `visibility()` and `struct`), and a few restrictions on `load()` syntax and non-ASCII string data.

This CL adds support for loading .scl files anywhere a .bzl could be used. The restrictions on `load()` are implemented in this CL, but follow-up CLs will handle differentiating the top-level environment from .bzl, restricting non-ASCII data, and adding user documentation.

The dialect is gated on the flag `--experimental_enable_scl_dialect`.

- `BzlLoadValue` gains a new bool field on its abstract Key type to indicate whether it is for .scl. This was chosen instead of creating a new Key subclass so that .scl can work equally well in different contexts (loaded by BUILD, WORKSPACE, MODULE.bazel, or even @_builtins).

- `BzlLoadFunction.checkValidLoadLabel` and `.getLoadLabels` are both split into a public and private method. The public methods assume the load is coming from a .bzl file for validation purposes, and take a `StarlarkSemantics` to check whether the experimental flag is enabled.

- Eliminate `BzlLoadFunction.getBUILDLabel()` helper, which is obsolete.

- Modify existing tests to incidentally check that bzlmod .bzls can load .scl files and that .scl files can appear in transitive loads as reported by the Package (for `loadfiles()`).

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel rebuilds only what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.

  • One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  • Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.

  • Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
