Release 9.0.0-pre.20241119.2 (2024-11-27)

Baseline: ebeab8c

Cherry picks:

   + 650142f:
     Automated rollback of commit
     4515bb6.
   + 4754de2:
     [Rolling release] Do not forward legacy `cmd.exe` variables to
     the server (bazelbuild#24500)
   + 94fb35b:
     Fix rolling release (bazelbuild#24513)

Incompatible changes:

  - Changing --test_env no longer invalidates the analysis cache.
    `ctx.configuration.test_env` may be empty for non-test rules and
    should not be used by such rules.

Important changes:

  - Add a set data type to Starlark, guarded by the
    --experimental_enable_starlark_set flag.
  - symbolic macro attribute inheritance is now marked experimental;
    set --experimental_enable_macro_inherit_attrs flag to enable it.
  - Changing any part of `--run_under` that isn't the label (such as
    the shell command) no longer invalidates the analysis cache.
  - The progress of completed configured aspects is now shown in the
    UI, next to the number of completed targets. Example: "(100
    packages loaded, 10000 targets and 500 aspects configured)".

This release contains contributions from many people at Google, as well as Fabian Meumertzheim, kalvdans, Xùdōng Yáng.
