Release 6.0.0-pre.20220517.1 (2022-05-23)

Baseline: 61fd06d92706d64fbcef64f0f54cded91c88afff

Incompatible changes:

  - Split up the C++ archive from the C++ link action and set
    `CppArchive` as mnemonic.

Important changes:

  - Switch cc_test implementation to Starlark. Note: cc_test will now
    link statically when _targeting_ Windows regardless of host
    platform (rather
    than always linking statically when Windows is the _host_).
  - Bazel uses the D8 jar from Maven instead of the SDK.
  - "blaze config" now only reports info from the last build. To
    compare configurations across multiple builds, redirect "blaze
    config" output to a file and run your favorite diff tool.
  - The --incompatible_override_toolchain_transition flag is now
    always set, and will be removed in the future. Thus,
    --noincompatible_override_toolchain_transition has no effect, and
    the value of the incompatible_use_toolchain_transition parameter
    in aspect() and rule() builtins is ignored.
  - Switch cc_test implementation to Starlark. Note: cc_test will now
    link statically when _targeting_ Windows regardless of host
    platform (rather
    than always linking statically when Windows is the _host_).
  - Toolchain types may now be optional, in addition to mandatory.
    See https://bazel.build/docs/toolchains#optional-toolchains for
    further details.
