[engine] Never evaluate executables relative to cwd

`exec.ErrDot` is the error that `exec.LookPath()` returns when it fails
to look up an executable on $PATH, but finds it in the current working
directory. Notably, the current working directory may be outside the
project root (if the "--root" flag is set), in which case the current
working directory lookup is undesirable, as shac checks should only
depend on tools in $PATH or in the checkout. Therefore, it should be
considered an error if an executable is not found on $PATH.

This means that commands like "foo.sh" that refer to a script in the
repository root must use "./foo.sh" or an absolute path. If that becomes
a pain for users, we could add a check to see if the file exists in the
repository root before falling back to looking it up on $PATH.

Shac (Scalable Hermetic Analysis and Checks) is a unified and ergonomic tool and framework for writing and running static analysis checks.

Shac checks are written in Starlark.

Road map

Planned features/changes, in descending order by priority:

  • [x] Configuring files to exclude from shac analysis in shac.textproto
  • [x] Include unstaged files in analysis, including respecting unstaged shac.star files
  • [x] Automatic fix application with handling for conflicting suggestions
  • [ ] Provide a .shac cache directory that checks can write to
  • [ ] Mount checkout directory read-only
    • [x] By default
    • [ ] Unconditionally
  • [ ] Give checks access to the commit message via ctx.scm
  • [ ] Built-in formatting of Starlark files
  • [ ] Configurable “pass-throughs” - non-default environment variables and mounts that can optionally be passed through to the sandbox
  • [ ] Add glob arguments to ctx.scm.{all,affected}_files() functions for easier filtering
  • [ ] Filesystem sandboxing on MacOS
  • [ ] Windows sandboxing
  • [ ] Testing framework for checks
