Bug fixes and small features

This is a fairly small release with a few bug fixes and small features. This is the last release before we upgrade to Bazel 0.8, which incorporates several features for cross-platform support which we plan to use as soon as possible.

The following changes are included in this release:

• Bazel 0.7 is now the minimum Bazel version.
• Several bug fixes for aspect-based builds. This mostly affects "pure" mode and cross-compilation.
• Several fixes for performance regressions. This resolved some restructuring of our providers to avoid hashing a large amount of data in depsets.
• Gazelle converts library attributes to embed. These attributes cover the same concept, but embed accepts a list of targets instead of one.
• go_source is a new rule which specifies a group of srcs and deps that can be used as a target in embed attributes. Unlike go_library, these rules cannot be built independently.
• Dropped support for Go 1.7.
