This PR speeds up Scala compilation with this ruleset by ~26% across-the-board and substantially reduces the complexity of the ruleset by using the compiler bridge directly instead of Zinc. Note that all the goodies we get from Zinc and its analysis information are not exclusive to Zinc and are instead gotten by using the compiler bridge, which Zinc invokes under the hood. However, this PR does drop support for incremental compilation.
Please read the commit messages (especially the second commit description) for more information on the technical context surrounding this decision.
