Cherry picks:

   + 41acf91534e3b70847a667642ab3acba034a6e6e:
     Only cache runfiles mappings of tests if they have more than one
     shard or run per test.

Incompatible changes:

  - CppLinkAction returns 2 args to aspects that have correct quoting
    set (before it was always 1 args object defaulting to bash
    escaping)
  - CppLinkAction returns 2 args to aspects that have correct quoting
    set (before it was always 1 args object defaulting to bash
    escaping)

Important changes:

  - Update iOS tutorial link.
  - The package(distribs=[...]) attribute has been removed
    It has been a no-op for several years now.
  - Prevent linux-sandbox(ed) spawns from being able to write in the
    cgroups mount.
  - modifies visibility error to be more readable.
  - fixes overly-broad test assertion
  - The deprecated `fragments["apple"].bitcode_mode` and
    `fragments["cpp"].apple_bitcode_mode` APIs have been removed from
    Bazel. Apple deprecated Bitcode in Xcode 14.
  - `bazel mod dump_repo_mapping <canonical repo name>...` returns
    the repository mappings of the given repositories in NDJSON. This
    information can be used by IDEs and Starlark language servers to
    resolve
    labels with `--enable_bzlmod`.
  - The flag `--experimental_worker_for_repo_fetching` now defaults
    to `auto`, which uses virtual threads from JDK 21 if it's
    available. This eliminates restarts during repo fetching.
