     Add incompatible flag to guard top-level aspects dependencies

Incompatible changes:

  - Removing java_common.javac_jar Starlark call.
  - native.existing_rule now returns select values in a form that is
    accepted by rule instantiation. This is a breaking API change
    because there is some code that relies on the precise type
    returned, including brittle workarounds for this bug specifically
    and insufficiently flexible workarounds for other issues with the
    intersection of select and native.existing_rule.
  - flipped incompatible_use_toolchain_resolution_for_java_rules, see
    #7849
  - Query output=xml/proto/location for source files will now show
    the location of line 1 of the source file (as the new default)
    instead of its location in the BUILD file.
  - Specifying a target pattern underneath a directory specified by
    .bazelignore will now emit a warning, not an error.
  - Query `--order_output=auto` will now sort lexicographically.
    However, when `somepath` is used as a top level function (e.g.
    `query 'somepath(a, b)'`), it will continue to output in
    dependency order. If you do not want the lexicographical output
    ordering, specify another `--order_output` value (`no`, `deps` or
    `full`) based on what ordering you require.
  - In the build event stream,
    BuildMetrics.TargetMetrics.targets_loaded is no longer populated.
    Its value was always mostly meaningless.
    BuildMetrics.TargetMetrics.targets_configured and
    BuildMetrics.ActionSummary.actions_created now include configured
    aspect data.
  - //visibility:legacy_public has been removed.
  - Flip and remove incompatible_dont_collect_so_artifacts
    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/13043).
  - Remove flag --experimental_no_product_name_out_symlink: it is
    always true.
  - The Starlark method generate_dsym in objc fragment has
    been deleted.  Please use the equivalent apple_generate_dsym in
    cpp
    fragment instead.
  - Native libraries in data attribute are not collected. See
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/13550 for details
  - Enforce the `--profile` path to be absolute.
  - Enforce the --memory_profile path to be absolute.
  - JavaToolchainInfo.jvm_opt returns Depset instead of a list.
  - --apple_sdk has been deleted.  It is a no-op.

Important changes:

  - Flag --incompatible_objc_compile_info_migration is removed.  See
    #10854.
  - Flag --incompatible_objc_compile_info_migration is removed.  See
    #10854.
  - Flag --incompatible_objc_compile_info_migration is removed.  See
    #10854.
  - none
    PAIR=cmita
  - The --incompatible_load_python_rules_from_bzl flag is now a no-op.
  - Filter all (instead of just C++) source files for coverage output
    according to --instrumentation_filter and
    --instrument_test_targets.
  - The `--incompatible_disable_native_apple_binary_rule` flag has
    been added which disables the native `apple_binary` rule. Users
    who need to use `apple_binary` directly (if they cannot use one
    of the more specific Apple rules) should load it from
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_apple.
  - The Android rules' --use_singlejar_apkbuilder is now a no-op.
    SingleJar will always be used to build APKs.
  - dict.setdefault(key, ...) now fails if dict is frozen, even if it
    already contains key. This is an incompatible API change.
  - Flag --incompatible_objc_provider_remove_compile_info is removed.
     See #11359.
  - Starlark now permits def statements to be nested (closures).
  - native.existing_rule now returns select values in a form that is
    accepted by rule instantiation. This is a breaking API change,
    though the fallout is expected to be small.
  - Starlark now supports lambda (anonymous function) expressions.
  - The "test" and "coverage" commands no longer return 3 when a
    test action fails because of a system error. Instead, the exit
    code
    reflects the type of system error.
  - The undocumented ctx.expand feature no longer exists.
  - Make --legacy_dynamic_scheduler a no-op flag.
  - Multiplex persistent workers can now use the JSON protocol.
  - native.existing_rule now returns a mutable list, not a tuple, for
    a list-valued attributes. This is an incompatible API change.
  - Roll back change to have native.existing_rules use list instead
    of tuple.
  - BEP includes test suite expansions.
  - config_setting now honors `visibility` attribute (and defaults to
    `//visibility:public`)
  - Change the MultiArchSplitTransitionProvider to be based on
    platform type + CPU instead of fixed "ios_" + cpu.
  - enforce config_setting visibility. See
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/12932 for details.
  - add a flag to build v4 signature file
  - Added _direct_source_jars output group to Java related targets.
    END_PUBLIC
  - pkg_deb is no longer part of @bazel_tools//build_defs/pkg:pkg.bzl.
    Use https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/tree/main/pkg instead
  - Allowing the lipo operations to be conditional in the
    linkMultiArchBinary API for Apple binaries. Single architecture
    slices are now returned through AppleBinaryOutput and the
    Starlark API.
  - Release restriction for "-" in the package name for Python
    sources. Now `py_binary` and `py_test` targets can have main
    source file with "-" in the path.
  - Users consuming BEP may assume that a `named_set_of_files` event
    will
    appear before any event referencing that `named_set` by ID. This
    allows consumers
    to process the files for such events (eg. `TargetCompleted`)
    immediately.
  - BEP includes all files from successful actions in requested
    output groups.
    Previously, an output group's files were excluded if any file in
    the output group
    was not produced due to a failing action. Users can expect BEP
    output to be larger
    for failed builds.
  - In BEP, TargetComplete.output_group has a new field `incomplete`
    indicating that the file_sets field is missing one or more
    declared artifacts
    whose generating actions failed.
  - The flag `--toolchain_resolution_debug` now takes a regex
    argument, which is used to check which toolchain types should
    have debug info printed. You may use `.*` as an argument to keep
    the current behavior of debugging every toolchain type.
  - Add runfiles.merge_all() for merging a sequence of runfiles
    objects.
  - runfiles.merge() and merge_all() now respect
    --nested_set_depth_limit.
    If you hit the depth limit because you were calling merge() in a
    loop, use
    merge_all() on a sequence of runfiles objects instead.
  - Bazel will no longer create a bazel-out symlink if
    --symlink_prefix is specified: the directory pointed to via the
    bazel-out symlink is accessible via ${symlink_prefix}-out. If
    this causes problems for you, set
    --experimental_no_product_name_out_symlink=false in your builds
    and file an issue.
  - Updates worker protocol with cancellation fields, and adds
    experimental_worker_cancellation flag to control cancellation.
  - Simplify build failure output by always using `NNN arguments`.
  - trim_test_configuration now defaults to on
  - Mark genrule.srcs as a source attribute for coverage.
  - When using --allow_analysis_failures (for example, via
    bazel-skylib's
    analysistest with `expect_failure = True`), analysis-time
    failures in aspect
    implementation functions will now be propagated and saved in
    AnalysisFailureInfo, just like analysis-time failures in rules.
  - cquery --noimplicit_deps now correctly filters out resolved
    cc_toolchains
  - Sign apks deterministically.
  - Make gcov optional in cc_toolchain tools.
  - If --experimental_prefer_mutual_xcode is passed, Bazel will
    choose the local default (instead of the newest mutually
    available version) if it's available both locally and remotely.
  - Remove java_lite_proto_library.strict_deps attribute.
  - Generate proguard configurations deterministically.
  - Adds a new flag, `--incompatible_enable_cc_test_feature` which
    switches from the use of build variables to the feature of the
    same name.
  - Dropped fragile xz support from built in pkg_tar. Users requiring
    xz
    compression should switch to bazlebuild/rules_pkg.
  - If all strategies of one branch (the local or remote execution
    branch) of the `dynamic` strategy fail to even accept (via the
    response they give from `canExec`) the action, `dynamic` will now
    try to see if the other branch can accept it. (Trying to run it
    and it failing will still cause a failure if it was the first
    result, this is about strategies claiming they can't even try the
    action)
  - Add `disable_annotation_processing` option to
    `java_common.compile`, which disables any annotation processors
    passed to `plugins` or in `exported_plugins` of `deps`
  - Remove obsolete --incompatible_prohibit_aapt1
  - The minimum Android build tools version for the Android rules is
    now 30.0.0
  - Adds --experimental_reuse_sandbox_directories flag to reuse
    already-created non-worker sandboxes with cleanup.
  - --experimental_force_gc_after_build is deprecated and will be
    removed soon. Use --bep_publish_used_heap_size_post_build instead
  - Forward coverage-instrumented files from non-tool dependencies by
    default.
  - The used_heap_size_post_build field in BEP is populated when the
    --memory_profile flag is set
  - --run_validations defaults to true.
  - Consider label_keyed_string_dict attributes when gathering
    instrumented files for coverage.
  - Remove flag
    --experimental_forward_instrumented_files_info_by_default, now
    that this behavior is the default.
  - When using MemoryProfiler with multiple GCs via the
    --memory_profile_stable_heap_parameters flag, we do a more
    precise calculation of heap used at the end of the build. This
    will generally result in lower values.
  - --bep_publish_used_heap_size_post_build is deprecated. Use
    --memory_profile=/dev/null instead.
