The current way to derive the binary path relies on a specific name for
the nodejs repository. This blocks migrating to bzlmod, as bzlmod
prefixes repository directories with the module name that created them.
By asking bazel for the path instead we always get the correct path, so
we can work with both bzlmod and WORKSPACE based dependencies at the
same time.
The repository @nodejs, used in the build label, refers to nodejs for
the host platform and is generated by the following macro (wasn't too
obvious to me):
d19d695275/nodejs/repositories.bzl (L452)
This is some work towards solving #1509.
This is a working solution for generating a separate Emscripten cache.
Note that this requires an additional entry in the workspace as follows:
```starlark
load("@emsdk//:emscripten_cache.bzl", emsdk_emscripten_cache = "emscripten_cache")
emsdk_emscripten_cache()
```
When used like this, the default Emscripten cache will be used. However,
if the entry is as follows:
```starlark
load("@emsdk//:emscripten_cache.bzl", emsdk_emscripten_cache = "emscripten_cache")
emsdk_emscripten_cache(flags = ["--lto"])
```
Then embuilder will be called to build all system libraries and ports
(i.e., the `ALL` option to embuilder) with the LTO option enabled. This
can take awhile, so I have also made possible to specify which libraries
you want to build explicitly:
```starlark
load("@emsdk//:emscripten_cache.bzl", emsdk_emscripten_cache = "emscripten_cache")
emsdk_emscripten_cache(
flags = ["--lto"],
libraries = [
"crtbegin",
"libprintf_long_double-debug",
"libstubs-debug",
"libnoexit",
"libc-debug",
"libdlmalloc",
"libcompiler_rt",
"libc++-noexcept",
"libc++abi-debug-noexcept",
"libsockets"
]
)
```

* Optimize sandbox performance
Link just the files needed to compile, link, or archive, rather than the entire directory tree. This drastically improves build times on macOS, where the sandbox is known to be slow (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8230).
* Linux wants clang to link
* all_files not needed?
* Linux wants llc
* And llvm-ar
* Templated build_file_content
* Makes provided bazel rules look up @emsdk workspace instead of local workspace
* Uses system-specific emscripten binaries instead of defaulting to linux
* Provides macros for loading emsdk dependencies (nodejs and emscripten binaries)
* Unhardcodes paths in bazel rules and .sh wrappers
* `update_bazel_workspace.sh` now updates `revisions.bzl`
* `emscripten_deps()` can be fed with specific emscripten version
* Adds external usage test
