     replace _get_canonical_form(label) with str(label)

Incompatible changes:

  - Bazel no longer increases the delay between progress updates when
    there is no cursor control.
  - `--incompatible_always_include_files_in_data` is flipped
    to true. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16654 for details.
  - `cquery --output=files` also outputs source files.

    Closes #16602.

  - `--incompatible_strict_conflict_checks` is flipped to true. See
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16729 for details.

Important changes:

  - The new path variable `$(rlocationpath ...)` and its plural form
    `$(rlocationpaths ...)` can be used to expand labels to the paths
    accepted by the `Rlocation` function of runfiles libraries. This
    is the preferred way to access data dependencies at runtime and
    works on all platforms, even when runfiles are not enabled (e.g.,
    on Windows by default).

    Work towards #16124

    Fixes #10923

    Closes #16428.

  - Starlark `print()` statements are now emitted iff the line of
    code is executed. They are no longer replayed on subsequent
    invocations unless the Starlark code is re-executed.
    Additionally, multiple identical `print()` statements (same
    string from the same line of code, e.g. from a loop) are all
    emitted and no longer deduplicated.

  - Fixes a bug where some compilation flags would not be applied to
    a cc_test

We have yet to fix the release note generation for the RCs, sorry about that; in the final release notes, this rolled back change is not in there.
