/**
 * Transitions to a stable, empty configuration for rules that don't rely on configuration.
 *
 * <p>This prevents unnecessary configured target forking, which prevents unnecessary build graph
 * bloat. That in turn reduces build time and memory use.
 *
 * <p>For example, imagine {@code cc_library //:foo} in config A depends on config-independent
 * target {@code //:noconfig} and {@code cc_library //:bar} in config B also depends on {@code
 * //:noconfig}. Without transitions, {@code //:noconfig} will be configured and analyzed twice: for
 * configs A and B. This is completely wasteful if {@code //:noconfig} does the same thing
 * regardless of configuration. Instead, apply this transition to {@code //:noconfig}.
 *
 * <p>This is safest for rules that don't produce actions and don't have dependencies. Remember that
 * even if a rule doesn't read configuration, if any of its transitive dependencies read
 * configuration or if the rule has a {@code select()}, its output may still be
 * configuration-dependent. So use with careful discretion.
