Support `{name}` and `{version}` placeholders in `use_repo`

This allows module extensions to reliably namespace repos created by individual modules, even in the presence of `multiple_version_override`, without causing additional churn for users during version bumps. In particular, projects with a publishing workflow that patches in the `version` attribute of the `module` function don't need to modify that workflow to e.g. patch a global constant or also search for the old version in `use_repo` call arguments.

Context: https://bazelbuild.slack.com/archives/C09E58X3AQ7/p1764934858912079

RELNOTES: The values of keyword arguments passed to `use_repo` can now contain the special substrings `{name}` and `{version}`, which are treated as equivalent to the corresponding attributes of the current module.

Closes #27890.

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.
