Support select() on constraint_value for aliases.

This implements approach #4 of
bazelbuild#13047 (comment).

The basic change adds a new toolchain resolution mode: "resolve iff the target has a select()". It then sets alias() to that mode.

We could remove this special casing if we ever ubiquitously provide platform info to *all* rules (bazelbuild#12899 (comment)).

RELNOTES: alias() can now select() directly on constraint_value()

Fixes bazelbuild#13047.

Closes bazelbuild#14310.
