Breaking changes

As of this release,we've removed WORKSPACE support from the rules. Projects that still depend onWORKSPACE should not update beyond1.24.5, or can look at#​487 to see what the dependencies are at any given time.WORKSPACE support is removed completely from Bazel starting in Bazel 9.

What's Changed

• remove WORKSPACE support by@​aaronsky in#​487
• Add support for param files for compiler invocations by@​keith in#​488
• Enable code coverage in Xcode for clang-built targets by@​aaronsky in#​491
• Disable absolute coverage-prefix-map feature by default by@​aaronsky in#​492
