Baseline: 4155718

Cherry picks:

   + a1d1902:
     Fix `EmptyRuleConfiguredTargetFactory` for native rules that are
     not instances of `EmptyRule`

Incompatible changes:

  - The legacy `@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:maven_rules.bzl`
    rule for downloading Maven artifacts has been deleted. Consider
    migrating to rules_jvm_external if you are using this rule.

Important changes:

  - Fix starlark_doc_extract proto output for symbolic macro
    visibility,
    attribute inheritance, and rule finalizers; and remove
    non-existent "name"
    attribute from starlark_doc_extract output for aspects.
  - Java tests are no longer run with a `SecurityManager` that
    prevents `System.exit`, since `SecurityManager` functionality is
    being removed from the JDK.

[8.0.0] Only process executable path for path mapping (#24599)

This fixes a few issues introduced in
282ac62:
* Only the executable path in the first argument of a `CommandLines`
instance should be subject to path mapping.
* String arguments that are not normalized as path strings and thus
can't possibly be the optimized memory representation used for the
executable arg by `StarlarkAction` should not be modified.

Also removes an class that became unused in that commit.

Closes #24576.
