Implement RemoteDownloader w/ `--experimental_remote_downloader`

This is the Bazel client implementation of https://github.com/bazelbuild/proposals/pull/160. It allows downloading of external dependencies to be delegated to a remote service.

TODOs:
- [x] Once https://github.com/bazelbuild/remote-apis/pull/112 is merged, the vendored copy of `bazelbuild/remote-apis` should be updated. I've used a [WIP] placeholder for now.
- [x] If the general approach looks reasonable then I'll add tests. Currently I've been testing with an in-house implementation of the downloader server.
