feat: compile source files at build time (#1902)

This implements precompiling: performing Python source to byte code
compilation at build time. This allows improved program startup time by
allowing the byte code compilation step to be skipped at runtime.

Precompiling is disabled by default, for now. A subsequent release will
enable it by default. This allows the necessary flags and attributes to
become available so users can opt-out prior to it being enabled by
default. Similarly, `//python:features.bzl` is introduced to allow
feature detection.

This implementation is made to serve a variety of use cases, so there
are several attributes and flags to control behavior. The main use cases
being served are:
* Large mono-repos that need to incrementally enable/disable
precompiling.
* Remote execution builds, where persistent workers aren't easily
available.
* Environments where toolchains are custom defined instead of using the
ones created by rules_python.

To that end, there are several attributes and flags to control behavior,
and the toolchains allow customizing the tools used.

Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python/issues/1761
