Add find_cc_toolchain.bzl to help accessing current C++ toolchain
This is to help migrating for:
* https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7260
* https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7643
It's mostly a copy of the file in
`@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain_utils.bzl`, with a small difference -
it depends on `@rules_cc//cc:toolchain_type`, not on
`@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain_type`.

+* When https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7260 is **not** flipped, current
+ C++ toolchain is selected using the legacy mechanism (`--crosstool_top`,
+ `--cpu`, `--compiler`). For that to work the rule needs to declare an
+ `_cc_toolchain` attribute, e.g.
+
+foo = rule(
+ implementation = _foo_impl,
+ attrs = {
+ "_cc_toolchain": attr.label(default = Label("@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:current_cc_toolchain")),
+ },
+)
+* When https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7260 **is** flipped, current
+ C++ toolchain is selected using the toolchain resolution mechanism
+ (`--platforms`). For that to work the rule needs to declare a dependency on
+ C++ toolchain type:
+
+ foo = rule(
+ implementation = _foo_impl,
+ toolchains = ["@rules_cc//cc:toolchain_type"],
+ )
+
+We advise to depend on both `_cc_toolchain` attr and
+`@rules_cc//cc:toolchain_type` for the duration of the migration. After
+https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7260 is flipped (and support for old
+Bazel version is not needed), it's enough to only keep the
+`@rules_cc//cc:toolchain_type`.
