Description
Bazel enforces "Header inclusion rules": https://bazel.build/reference/be/c-cpp#hdrs
When the `layering_check` feature is enabled, none of the top-level targets are usable. They have no `hdrs` value:
https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-cpp/blob/8ecdff6cd9ad79e2b2b847edd83205fb8ae65071/BUILD.bazel#L79-L87
- [x] I think we need to change the code to something like:
```bzl
[cc_library(
name = "{library}".format(library = library),
hdrs = ["//google/cloud/{dir}:hdrs".format(dir=google_cloud_cpp_library_dir_name(library)],
deps = [
"//google/cloud/{library_dir}:google_cloud_cpp_{library}".format(
library = library,
library_dir = google_cloud_cpp_library_dir_name(library),
),
],
) for library in GA_LIBRARIES + TRANSITION_LIBRARIES]
```
- [x] Verify all libraries, specially the hand-crafted libraries, have a `filegroup` defined for the headers.
- [x] It might be desirable to remove anything with `/internal/` in the name from this `filegroup` too.
- [ ] We should enable `layering_check` in the package once this is working
- [ ] We should verify the `quickstart` programs compile with `layering_check` once this is working
