This release is a patch release that contains fixes for several serious
regressions that were found after the release of Bazel 0.16.0.

In particular this release resolves the following issues:

 - Bazel crashes with a StackOverflowError on Windows (See #5730)
 - Bazel requires a locally installed JDK and does not fall back
   to the embedded JDK (See #5744)
 - Bazel fails to build for Homebrew on macOS El Capitan (See #5777)
 - A regression in apple_static_library (See #5683)
