Research direction
Start by reviewing Spotless's existing plugin structure and the spotless-lib entry point, then compare Bazel's Skylark extension, shell-command, and binary-integration options. Done would mean a documented Bazel integration that can invoke spotless-lib or a Java wrapper, but the issue does not identify files or tests to begin with.

Description
Bazel is something which has interested me for a while now, so writing a Spotless plugin for it may prove to be a good way to get my feet wet with it. However I'm limited for time with my studies and I suspect I won't be able to work on something this big until late May 2017 or later.
Here's what I currently understand about Bazel with regards to plugin-writing:
- Bazel uses a subset of Python called Skylark for writing extensions (Bazel's terminology for plugins AFAICT). So it may very well be that Spotless would need to be ported to Skylark first, which isn't ideal.
- There seem to be ways of integrating shell scripts and binaries as extensions into Bazel. I'm hoping that we can use one of these options or some another option to call
spotless-lib(or a Java binary wrapper around it) without porting it to Skylark.
