It's slightly unfortunate that this require moving symlink-related options to an options scope that applies to query (because query also needs to know to ignore the symlinks when expanding globs).
It's also slightly unfortunate that the behaviour of the symlink-related flags is really about changing the existence of symlinks - the existence of the "ignore" value is somewhat problematic as it means that evaluation of globs may vary depending on the outcomes of previous builds' options, but this better (and more niche) than the current state which is that a first build and subsequent build with the same options may give different results (because the first build may produce files in bazel-bin which are then picked up as inputs by the second build).
Fixes #11875
