Add dist_http_archive() to make it easier to synchronize distdir with http_archive
More for #12081
For dependencies specified in distdir.bzl, we can now include them in Bazel's WORKSPACE with a simpler invocation that can not go out of sync. For example, this
```
dist_http_archive(
name = "io_bazel_rules_sass",
)
```
instead of
```
http_archive(
name = "io_bazel_rules_sass",
sha256 = "c78be58f5e0a29a04686b628cf54faaee0094322ae0ac99da5a8a8afca59a647",
strip_prefix = "rules_sass-1.25.0",
urls = [
"https://mirror.bazel.build/github.com/bazelbuild/rules_sass/archive/1.25.0.zip",
"https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_sass/archive/1.25.0.zip",
],
)
```
Also, convert two more packages only used at Bazel build time to the new style.
Next steps:
- convert other repositories which are not needed at run time to this format
- add ability to generate WORKSPACE files used by tests from DISTDIR #12734
- convert rules libraries to this format
Closes #12722.

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two
Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.
Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel rebuilds only what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.
One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.
Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
