Bazel zig cc toolchain for Go

This is a prototype zig-cc toolchain that can cross-compile cgo programs to these os/archs:

x86_64-linux-musl
x86_64-linux-gnu.2.19
aarch-linux-musl
aarch-linux-gnu.2.19
x86_64-macos
aarch64-macos

Convenient way is still being researched (see Known Issues below).

Testing

linux cgo + glibc 2.19

Glibc toolchain is suffixed with -gnu:

$ bazel run --platforms @zig_sdk//:x86_64-linux-gnu //test:gognu
$ file bazel-bin/test/gognu_/gognu
bazel-bin/test/gognu_/gognu: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, Go BuildID=redacted, with debug_info, not stripped

linux cgo + musl

$ bazel build --platforms @zig_sdk//:x86_64-linux-musl //test:gomusl
...
$ file ../bazel-out/k8-fastbuild-ST-d17813c235ce/bin/test/gomusl_/gomusl
../bazel-out/k8-fastbuild-ST-d17813c235ce/bin/test/gomusl_/gomusl: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, Go BuildID=redacted, with debug_info, not stripped
$ ../bazel-out/k8-fastbuild-ST-d17813c235ce/bin/test/gomusl_/gomusl
hello, world

macos cgo

$ bazel build --platforms @zig_sdk//:x86_64-macos-gnu //test:gognu
...
$ file bazel-bin/test/gognu_/gognu
bazel-bin/test/gognu_/gognu: Mach-O 64-bit x86_64 executable, flags:<NOUNDEFS|DYLDLINK|TWOLEVEL|PIE>

Transient docker environment

$ docker run -ti --rm -v $(pwd):/x -w /x debian:buster-slim
# apt update && apt install curl -y && curl -L https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk/releases/download/v1.9.0/bazelisk-linux-amd64 > /usr/local/bin/bazel && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/bazel
# export CC=/usr/bin/false

And run the bazel build commands above. Take a look at .build.yml and see how CI does it.
