With the new output mode `--output=files`, cquery lists all files advertised by the matched targets in the currently requested output groups. This new mode has the following advantages over `--output=starlark` combined with an appropriate handcrafted `--starlark:expr`: * provides a canonical answer to the very common "Where are my build outputs?" question * is more friendly to new users as it doesn't require knowing about providers and non-BUILD dialect Starlark * takes the value of `--output_groups` into account * stays as close to the logic for build summaries printed by `bazel build` as possible Fixes bazelbuild#8739 RELNOTES: `cquery`'s new output mode [`--output=files`](https://bazel.build/docs/cquery#files-output) lists the output files of the targets matching the query. It takes the current value of `--output_groups` into account. Closes bazelbuild#15552. PiperOrigin-RevId: 462630629 Change-Id: Ic648f22aa160ee57b476180561b444f08799ebb6
