Building a macos_application with a cc_library does not include runfiles.

cc_library(
    name = "libapp",
    srcs = ["main.cpp",],
    data = [":data.txt"],
)

macos_application(
    name = "app_macos",
    deps = [":libapp"],
)

data.txt is not packaged in the macos_application.

Add use_runfiles aspect_hint to include runfiles for specific cc_libr… (
91be02a 
#2479)

Fixes #2477

Include all data from cc_libraries as runfiles or resources, depending
on aspect_hints.
Provide aspect_hints for resource collection for all resource targets
(eg, swift_library, cc_library, etc)

By default all data is now included from cc_libraries as runfiles and
follows the expected runfiles folder structure, with files retaining
their nested folders and being placed in
/external/pkg_name/some/file.txt when included from a http_archive or
local_repository.

The default behavior for other resource collecting targets like
swift_library has not changed, and will continue to collect and process
data as resources.

To allow modification of this default behavior, users may add
aspect_hints to the target cc_library/swift_library/etc. There are three
supported aspect_hints:
@build_bazel_rules_apple//apple:use_runfiles
@build_bazel_rules_apple//apple:use_resources
@build_bazel_rules_apple//apple:suppress_resources

##### Example
Here is an example of modifying the default behavior to bundle data.txt
as a resource instead of a runfile.
```
cc_library(
    name = "libapp",
    srcs = ["main.cpp",],
    data = [":data.txt"],
    aspect_hints = ["@build_bazel_rules_apple//apple:use_runfiles"],
)

macos_application(
    name = "app_macos",
    deps = [":libapp"],
)
```
data.txt is bundled in Contents/Resources/data.txt

#### Note
Hints apply only to the target and do not affect transitive deps,
however if a target includes runfiles then all runfiles are bundled
(including transitive runfiles) regardless of the hints applied to
transitive targets.
