Implement a workaround for macOS/Bazel flakes.

Bazel has a 2 minute timeout for their internal `xcrun` call, which can be exceeded on our github runners about 5% of the time.  This leads to flakes and opaque errors, but is a one-time cost.  Subsequent xcruns finish in seconds, so we can just do an initial call w/o a timeout before running Bazel.

With this change our total flake rate drops from ~30% to nearly 0% for our full suite of tests

See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/17437 for background.

# Bazel has multiple Xcode calls with hardcoded timeouts. Many of these
# end up timing out on our github runners, causing flakes on every mac
# build that invoked Bazel. To work around this, we manually inoke these
# calls before running Bazel to make sure they end up in Xcode's cache for
# quicker runs later. All of these calls are obtained from xcrun calls in
# https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/e8a69f5d5acaeb6af760631490ecbf73e8a04eeb/tools/cpp/osx_cc_configure.bzl.

# TODO(b/269503614) Remove this once Bazel provides an official solution.
