build: Pass --force_pic to bazel#1903

Conversation
We already pass the -fPIC option in envoy.bazelrc (build:linux --copt=-fPIC) to the compiler, but bazel does not know about it and still builds both .pic.o and .o objects. Passing --force_pic to bazel supresses the .o compilation and saves build time. Noticed when non-test sources (such as Compiling source/common/network/address_impl.cc) were compiled for tests right after cilium-envoy was built. With the --force_pic option the tests build shows building only test files. Signed-off-by: Jarno Rajahalme <jarno@isovalent.com>
