8aecefa932e8064daa performance regression.
Important changes:
- Tool paths specified in `cc_toolchain` action configs are now
normalized based on the current execution platform's OS rather
than the host OS. In particular, Windows-style absolute paths are
now treated as absolute paths when building on a Windows executor
from a non-Windows host.
This release contains contributions from many people at Google, as well as Austin Schuh, Benjamin Peterson, Ed Schouten, Fabian Meumertzheim, George Gensure, Mike Lundy, Wade Carpenter.

+New features:
+
+ - The new `--*_env==NAME` syntax can be used with any of
+ `--action_env`, `--host_action_env`, `--repo_env`, `--run_env`,
+ and `--test_env` to undo any previous occurrences of the
+ respective flags for that environment variable name. For
+ `--repo_env` and `--run_env`, this also results in the variable
+ being unset if it is set in the environment of the Bazel client.
