[6.1.0] Add --host_features (bazelbuild#17528)

* Add --host_features

Previously there was no way to have a feature only apply to the entire transitive target closure without `--features` which also applied to the host / exec configuration. This is undesirable for many features such as C++ sanitizers where you often only need them to affect targets in the target configuration, and you don't want to invalidate all host tools when switching between these build configurations.

RELNOTES[INC]: `--features` only applies to targets built in the target configuration, and `--host_features` is used for the host / exec configuration (gated behind `--incompatible_use_host_features`)

Fixes bazelbuild#13839

Closes bazelbuild#16626.
