This rule communicates that a feature has been defined externally to make it possible to reference
features that live outside the rule-based cc toolchain ecosystem. This allows various toolchain
rules to reference the external feature without accidentally re-defining said feature.

This rule is currently considered a private API of the toolchain rules to encourage the Bazel
ecosystem to migrate to properly defining their features as rules.

Example:
```
load("//cc/toolchains:external_feature.bzl", "cc_external_feature")

# rules_rust defines a feature that is disabled whenever rust artifacts are being linked using
# the cc toolchain to signal that incompatible flags should be disabled as well.
cc_external_feature(
    name = "rules_rust_unsupported_feature",
    feature_name = "rules_rust_unsupported_feature",
    overridable = False,
)
```
