Release 6.0.0-pre.20220630.1 (2022-07-11)

Baseline: fbf9277975ceb7be5255fd5cf449e22706d25d3f

Important changes:

  - Removed the obsolete --incompatible_applicable_licenses flag. The
    feature is permanently enabled.
  - embedded_tools packages R8 desugarer again
  - Bazel now selects sh path based on execution platform instead of
    host platform, making it possible to execute sh actions in
    multiplatform builds. --shell_executable now only applies to
    actions configured for host.
  - labels in genquery.scope are no longer configured.
  - When Bzlmod is enabled, all Bzlmod-generated repos will have an
    extra '@' prepended to their names. This effectively enables the
    canonical label literal syntax for Bzlmod-generated repos
    (`@@canonicalRepoName//pkg:target`; see
    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N81qfCa8oskCk5LqTW-LNthy6EBrDo
    t7bdUsjz6JFC4/edit?usp=sharing).
  - Exposed `CcSharedLibraryInfo` to Starlark builtins.
  - Enable --use_top_level_targets_for_symlinks by default.
  - Singlejar accepts runtime Created-By field
  - --noincompatible_disable_managed_directories, and with that,
    workspace(managed_directories=) is not supported anymore.
  - Bazel supports D8 desugaring, albeit without persistent workers
  - Remove mtime options from pkg_tar. Users should migrate to
    @rules_pkg.
  - Test for experimental multiplexed persistent resource processor.
