Use bazelbuild/rules_pkg for the debian release packaging.

**Note**: `--host_force_python=PY2` is no longer required when using pkg_deb.

Before:

```
$ bazel build //scripts/packages/debian:bazel-debian  --host_force_python=PY2
...
Target //scripts/packages/debian:bazel-debian up-to-date:
  bazel-bin/scripts/packages/debian/bazel-debian.deb
  bazel-bin/scripts/packages/debian/bazel__amd64.deb
  bazel-bin/scripts/packages/debian/bazel__amd64.changes
$ dpkg -c bazel-bin/scripts/packages/debian/bazel-debian.deb
drwxr-xr-x 0/0               0 1999-12-31 19:00 ./

-rw-r--r-- 0/0               0 1999-12-31 19:00 ./etc/bazel.bazelrc
```

After:
```
$ bazel build //scripts/packages/debian:bazel-debian
Target //scripts/packages/debian:bazel-debian up-to-date:
  bazel-bin/scripts/packages/debian/bazel-debian.deb
  bazel-bin/scripts/packages/debian/bazel__amd64.deb
  bazel-bin/scripts/packages/debian/bazel__amd64.changes

-rw-r--r-- 0/0               0 1999-12-31 19:00 ./etc/bazel.bazelrc
```

As identical as we can get.

Closes #8919.

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel only rebuilds 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.
