Compilers may include a set of built-in headers that are implicitly available
unless flags like `-nostdinc` are provided. Bazel checks that all included
headers are properly provided by a dependency or allowlisted through this
mechanism.

As a rule of thumb, only use this if Bazel is complaining about absolute paths in your
toolchain and you've ensured that the toolchain is compiling with the `-no-canonical-prefixes`
and/or `-fno-canonical-system-headers` arguments.

This can help work around errors like:
`the source file 'main.c' includes the following non-builtin files with absolute paths
(if these are builtin files, make sure these paths are in your toolchain)`.

`cc_tool` rules are used in a `cc_tool_map` rule to ensure all files and
metadata required to run a tool are available when constructing a `cc_toolchain`.

In general, include all files that are always required to run a tool (e.g. libexec/** and
cross-referenced tools in bin/*) in the [data](#cc_tool-data) attribute. If some files are only
required when certain flags are passed to the tool, consider using a `cc_args` rule to
bind the files to the flags that require them. This reduces the overhead required to properly
enumerate a sandbox with all the files required to run a tool, and ensures that there isn't
unintentional leakage across configurations and actions.

Example:
```
load("//cc/toolchains:tool.bzl", "cc_tool")

cc_tool(
    name = "clang_tool",
    executable = "@llvm_toolchain//:bin/clang",
    # Suppose clang needs libc to run.
    data = ["@llvm_toolchain//:lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6"]
    tags = ["requires-network"],
    capabilities = ["//cc/toolchains/capabilities:supports_pic"],
)
```
