Abseil LTS 20250127.2

What's New:

Added support for Bazel 8.0
Added support for Bazel Platforms for better portability
Added ABSL_ATTRIBUTE_VIEW and ABSL_ATTRIBUTE_OWNER for diagnosing certain lifetime issues
Many performance improvements
A security issue in hash container create/resize has been fixed. Note that the latest patch releases for previous LTS versions also address this issue.

Breaking Changes:

Bazel BUILD files now reference repositories by their canonical names from the Bazel Central Registry. For example, Abseil is now @abseil-cpp instead of @com_google_absl, and GoogleTest is now @googletest instead of @com_google_googletest. Users still using the old WORKSPACE system may need to use repo_mapping on repositories that still use the old names. See 90a7ba6 for an example.

Other:

This will be the last release to support C++14. Future releases will require at least C++17.
