Add a way to make arbitrary files available to C++ compilation targets #18766
Description
Description of the feature request:
See discussion at https://groups.google.com/g/bazel-discuss/c/XE57LP4keoc
There currently seems to be no way to include an arbitrary file in a cc_library or a cc_binary or similar rule to be available at compilation time.
Sometimes it is necessary, such as when you want to have your options captured in a file, or if you want to use .incbin in assembly compilation.
