Add well-known compiler `config_setting`s
As of Bazel 6.0.0, all Bazel-provided toolchains report consistent
compiler names that can be matched on with `select`. Having a central
place for `config_setting`s that can be used for this purpose makes it
so that rulesets don't have to define them themselves and moving the
compiler flag out of `@bazel_tools` becomes easier as it is no longer
referenced directly.
Also includes minor fixes to `//tests/...` so that it can be enabled in
CI.

+"""Config settings for compilers identified by Bazel.
+
+Targets that require compiler-specific flags can use the config_settings defined
+in this package in their select() statements.
+
+*Note*: Before Bazel 6, gcc on Linux and clang on macOS would not match their
+specific config_setting, but only the fallback case of a select expression.
+
+Toolchains not shipped with Bazel are encouraged to use the same names to
+identify compilers as used below, but this is not enforced.
+
+Example:
+
+ cc_binary(
+ name = "foo",
+ srcs = ["foo.cc"],
+ copts = select({
+ "@rules_cc//cc/compiler:gcc": [...],
+ "@rules_cc//cc/compiler:clang": [...],
+ "@rules_cc//cc/compiler:msvc-cl": [...],
+ # Fallback case for an undetected compiler.
+ "//conditions:default": [...],
+ }),
+ )
+
+If multiple targets use the same set of conditionally enabled flags, this can be
+simplified by extracting the select expression into a Starlark constant.
