v2.0.0-rc1

Top level

This is the first Release Candidate for hermetic_cc_toolchain v2. Highlights:

1. Name change. It is now hermetic_cc_toolchain almost everywhere.
2. The release process has changed; the http_archive flag will need to be adjusted. The released archive now skips internal tests, internal rules, and only contains what is necessary to use it by third-party projects.
3. Remove fcntl64 and res_* hacks, as they have been fixed upstream.
4. Add a workaround to a zig build-exe race in zig.
5. Remove top-level folder rules/.
6. Repository variable for Zig cache directory changed from BAZEL_ZIG_CC_CACHE_PREFIX to HERMETIC_CC_TOOLCHAIN_CACHE_PREFIX.
7. Bump to Zig 0.11.0-dev.2619+bd3e248c7, see unofficial release note summary. Among other things, it bumps LLVM from 15.0.7 to 16.0.1.
8. License change: roll back to MIT.
