The NodeJS Bazel linker does not work well on Windows because there
is no sandboxing and linker processes from different tests will attempt
to modify the same `node_modules`, causing concurrency race conditions
and resulting in flakiness.

$(location) is not recommended in the bazel docs as depending on context it will either return the value of $(execpath) or $(rootpath). rules_nodejs now supports $(rootpath) and $(execpath) in templated_args of nodejs_binary.

Creates a Bazel macro that can be used to test packages for
circular dependencies. We face one limitation with Bazel:
* Built packages use module imports, and not relative source file
paths. This means we need custom resolution.
Fortunately, tools like `madge` support custom resolution.
Also removes the outdated `check-cycles` gulp task that
didn't catch circular dependencies. It seems like the test
became broken when we switched the packages-dist output to Bazel. It
breaks because the Bazel output doesn't use relative paths, but uses
the module imports. This will be handled in the new Bazel macro/rule.
