Use the proper main repo mapping where appropriate

Use the main repo mapping (instead of ALWAYS_FALLBACK) to a) process .bzl load labels in the WORKSPACE file, and b) to process any labels passed to repo rules in either the WORKSPACE file or WORKSPACE-loaded macros.

This change only has a noticeable effect for when the workspace name (specified using the `workspace` directive in the WORKSPACE file) is used in labels as `@workspace_name//some:thing`. Before this change, such a label would actually point to `@workspace_name//some:thing`, which is a different target than `@//some:thing`, even though they're backed by the same source. This is because we insert an implicit `local_repository(name='workspace_name',path='.')` clause into the WORKSPACE file (see also https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/15657 for a similar issue when Bzlmod is enabled).

This quirk can cause many subtle bugs, including toolchains being missing because `@workspace_name//:toolchain_type` and `@//:toolchain_type` are in fact distinct toolchain types!

Closes #15666.

Fixes #15667.

Bazel

{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.
