Most programs that accept params files use the `@file` syntax. For Apple platform builds `@` can be the start of non-params file arguments as well, such as `-rpath @executable_path/Frameworks`. There is a small list of options where this is the case, so this new behavior no longer assumes params files if args start with `@`, they also have to not start with one of the 3 keywords used with this (from `man dyld` on macOS). This should always hold since params files generated by bazel should always start with `bazel-out`, if someone renames the symlinks to one of the keywords, they're on their own. Previously the workaround was to always make sure to pass the `-Wl,-rpath,@executable_path` form of these arguments, but this makes users not have to worry about this. In a few other places we check this by checking if the file exists, which is likely more accurate, but feels excessive and potentially dangerous in this context.
