[6.4.0] Add --incompatible_merge_fixed_and_default_shell_env (#19319)

With the new flag, Starlark actions that specify both `env` and `use_default_shell_env` will no longer have `env` ignored. Instead, the values of `env` will override the default shell environment. This allows Starlark actions to both pick up user-configured variables such as `PATH` from the shell environment as well as set variables to fixed values required for the action, e.g., variables provided by the C++ toolchain. Rationale for having `env` override the default shell env: The rules know best which values they have to set specific environment variables to in order to successfully execute an action, so a situation where users break an action by a globally applied `--action_env` is prevented. If users really do have to be able to modify an environment variables fixed by the rule, the rule can always make this configurable via an attribute. Work towards #5980 Fixes #12049 Closes #18235.
