Establish a multi-platform build system.

Proof of concept with Bazel to see pros and cons.

I'm working on a version here. As far as I see Bazel has little to none integration with IDEs. In my opinion, this is a great insufficiency. We can not easily debug and scan results form tests. As a benefit, I would say that with Bazel all our dependencies are downloaded and installed easily and also we have the multiplatform builds. However, we are actively developing at this moment. The benefit of having a decent debugging outweighs the benefit of multiplatform builds and dependencies (we currently build for windows only and have only one dependency). In the future, we can research more on this topic. As a note, I would mention that CMake has multiplatform builds and generates native platform build files (.vcproj and Makefile) that can be integrated with IDEs. I gues it can resolve dependencies also. :)

I totally agree with you! We leave Visual Studio files for now. :)
