Instead of calling netstat on the remote device to detect available
ports, simply call bind with port 0 to bind to any available port.
Since the port is not yet known when cdc_rsync_server.exe is called,
port forwarding needs to be started AFTER the server reports its port.
Also clarifies some unclear aspects in the readme, and adds a fix that
allows create_release.yml to be used for pull requests for testing.

There were two problems:
- Writing the date on Windows used the wrong syntax. In Powershell,
env variables are addressed as $env:NAME, not $NAME.
- Use different caches for opt vs fastbuild. We are currently using
opt caches for fastbuilds, which results in lots of cache misses.
Uses a bazel --disk_cache to cache build outputs between builds. Bazel
also has a local cache, e.g. in ~/.cache/bazel/_bazel_$USER/cache, but
that one can't be used as it won't reuse data across checkouts. A disk
cache is like a remote cache, except that it's on the local disk.
Github first looks for a cache with the given exact key in the current
branch, then in the main branch. If there's a cache hit, the cache
isn't updated (they're read-only!). To prevent that caches become
stale, they are timestamped using the current year and month, so that
the cache is force-renewed every month. Bazel disk caches also just
grow, so this technique prevents that the cache grows indefinitely,
eventually causing cache trashing.
Modifies the create_release workflow in 2 ways:
- It only runs now if something is pushed to main.
- It creates a tagged release if a tag is pushed.
To create a tagged release, run e.g.
git tag -a v0.1.0 -m "Release 0.1.0"
git push origin v0.1.0
