Feature request: Add param_file features #229

@guilhermeAlmeida1

Description

@guilhermeAlmeida1

As discussed in the bazel repository: bazelbuild/bazel#5163, on cc libraries with many source files, bazel may generate linking commands that exceed the maximum allowed length on powershell.
The *_param_file features work around this issue by writing most of the linking/compilation command to a param file instead of directly to the command line. (See also: https://bazel.build/configure/windows -> "Command Line Length Limit")

I am using this toolchain to compile a large library where I am stumbling into this issue. It would be incredibly useful if you could provide these features.
I am not familiar with your contributing guidelines, nor am I very knowledgeable in toolchain configuration, but will open a PR with a suggested solution.
