merge(3p/absl): subtree merge of Abseil up to e19260f r/1889
... notably, this includes Abseil's own StatusOr type, which
conflicted with our implementation (that was taken from TensorFlow).

+// This header file defines the Abseil `status` library, consisting of:
+//
+//   * An `absl::Status` class for holding error handling information
+//   * A set of canonical `absl::StatusCode` error codes, and associated
+//     utilities for generating and propagating status codes.
+//   * A set of helper functions for creating status codes and checking their
+//     values
+//
+// Within Google, `absl::Status` is the primary mechanism for gracefully
+// handling errors across API boundaries (and in particular across RPC
+// boundaries). Some of these errors may be recoverable, but others may not.
+// Most functions that can produce a recoverable error should be designed to
+// return an `absl::Status` (or `absl::StatusOr`).
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// absl::Status myFunction(absl::string_view fname, ...) {
+//   ...
+//   // encounter error
+//   if (error condition) {
+//     return absl::InvalidArgumentError("bad mode");
+//   }
+//   // else, return OK
+//   return absl::OkStatus();
+// }
+//
+// An `absl::Status` is designed to either return "OK" or one of a number of
+// different error codes, corresponding to typical error conditions.
+// In almost all cases, when using `absl::Status` you should use the canonical
+// error codes (of type `absl::StatusCode`) enumerated in this header file.
+// These canonical codes are understood across the codebase and will be
+// accepted across all API and RPC boundaries.

+// absl::StatusCode
+//
+// An `absl::StatusCode` is an enumerated type indicating either no error ("OK")
+// or an error condition. In most cases, an `absl::Status` indicates a
+// recoverable error, and the purpose of signalling an error is to indicate what
+// action to take in response to that error. These error codes map to the proto
+// RPC error codes indicated in https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/errors.
+//
+// The errors listed below are the canonical errors associated with
+// `absl::Status` and are used throughout the codebase. As a result, these
+// error codes are somewhat generic.
+//
+// In general, try to return the most specific error that applies if more than
+// one error may pertain. For example, prefer `kOutOfRange` over
+// `kFailedPrecondition` if both codes apply. Similarly prefer `kNotFound` or
+// `kAlreadyExists` over `kFailedPrecondition`.
+//
+// Because these errors may travel RPC boundaries, these codes are tied to the
+// `google.rpc.Code` definitions within
+// https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis/blob/master/google/rpc/code.proto
+// The string value of these RPC codes is denoted within each enum below.
+//
+// If your error handling code requires more context, you can attach payloads
+// to your status. See `absl::Status::SetPayload()` and
+// `absl::Status::GetPayload()` below.

+  //      level (such as when a client-specified test-and-set fails, indicating
+  //      the client should restart a read-modify-write sequence).
+  //  (c) Use `kFailedPrecondition` if the client should not retry until
+  //      the system state has been explicitly fixed. For example, if an "rmdir"

+// absl::Status
+//
+// The `absl::Status` class is generally used to gracefully handle errors
+// across API boundaries (and in particular across RPC boundaries). Some of
+// these errors may be recoverable, but others may not. Most
+// functions which can produce a recoverable error should be designed to return
+// either an `absl::Status` (or the similar `absl::StatusOr<T>`, which holds
+// either an object of type `T` or an error).
+//
+// API developers should construct their functions to return `absl::OkStatus()`
+// upon success, or an `absl::StatusCode` upon another type of error (e.g
+// an `absl::StatusCode::kInvalidArgument` error). The API provides convenience
+// functions to constuct each status code.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// absl::Status myFunction(absl::string_view fname, ...) {
+//   ...
+//   // encounter error
+//   if (error condition) {
+//     // Construct an absl::StatusCode::kInvalidArgument error
+//     return absl::InvalidArgumentError("bad mode");
+//   }
+//   // else, return OK
+//   return absl::OkStatus();
+// }
+//
+// Users handling status error codes should prefer checking for an OK status
+// using the `ok()` member function. Handling multiple error codes may justify
+// use of switch statement, but only check for error codes you know how to
+// handle; do not try to exhaustively match against all canonical error codes.
+// Errors that cannot be handled should be logged and/or propagated for higher
+// levels to deal with. If you do use a switch statement, make sure that you
+// also provide a `default:` switch case, so that code does not break as other
+// canonical codes are added to the API.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   absl::Status result = DoSomething();
+//   if (!result.ok()) {
+//     LOG(ERROR) << result;
+//   }
+//
+//   // Provide a default if switching on multiple error codes
+//   switch (result.code()) {
+//     // The user hasn't authenticated. Ask them to reauth
+//     case absl::StatusCode::kUnauthenticated:
+//       DoReAuth();
+//       break;
+//     // The user does not have permission. Log an error.
+//     case absl::StatusCode::kPermissionDenied:
+//       LOG(ERROR) << result;
+//       break;
+//     // Propagate the error otherwise.
+//     default:
+//       return true;
+//   }
+//
+// An `absl::Status` can optionally include a payload with more information
+// about the error. Typically, this payload serves one of several purposes:
+//
+//   * It may provide more fine-grained semantic information about the error to
+//     facilitate actionable remedies.
+//   * It may provide human-readable contexual information that is more
+//     appropriate to display to an end user.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   absl::Status result = DoSomething();
+//   // Inform user to retry after 30 seconds
+//   // See more error details in googleapis/google/rpc/error_details.proto
+//   if (absl::IsResourceExhausted(result)) {
+//     google::rpc::RetryInfo info;

+//     // other payloads), and an `absl::Cord` to hold the encoded data.
+//     absl::string_view url = "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.RetryInfo";
+//     result.SetPayload(url, info.SerializeAsCord());
