This uses the actual Bazel build, using a variety of tricks and hacks to
make it actually work.
Bazel really wants to download linux binaries from the internet and run
them. In lieu of trying to fix the build system to not do this, we
instead put bazel inside an FHS environment, which allows the binaries
to find their dependencies.
We also have to patch a few things:
* We use build --nobuild instead of fetch, so we only fetch the
dependencies we actually need for the build and not, say, Windows
binaries.
* We don't remove rules_cc, because we need it as an external
dependency, not bundled.
* We do some manual fixes on the cache before packing, because we need
to remove some in-tree sources (so they don't cause the hash to break,
since the hashes differ each time they're generated), and also remove
some extraneous files.
* We explicitly turn off the repository and disk caches, because the
.bazelrc at the root of the Gerrit tree turns them on, with paths
pointing into the user's home directory.
* detzip is used instead of the zip binary for packing bower_components
into an archive. detzip doesn't create entries for directories, and
also doesn't store most metadata (timestamps, etc.), and uses store
(i.e. uncompressed) compression only. It also sorts the file tree
before writing them into the file.

detzip will be used in a patch for the Gerrit bower repository helper, which allows
us to get consistent hashes for the output of fetching the dependencies for the
Bazel build.
