Use configurations from bazel cquery in bazel build

[lior10r]

Description of the feature request:

I would like to run bazel build commands with certain configurations I get from bazel cquery.
For example in our project we use transitions on a very late target (which has a lot of dependencies) for passing configurations to all previous targets. There is no way to build one target from the dependencies of the transitioned target with the right configurations without building the entire transitioned target. If I could do something like:
bazel build --config=<hash> :foo which would apply the configurations from the hash to the target foo.

One of the reasons we moved to bazel was that we didn't have to build everything and that we could build just the target we want, but using transitions means that you can't do this and have to build everything.
