Bzlmod: Built-in modules

Currently, repos like `@bazel_tools` are treated with special status in Bzlmod because they're shipped with Bazel and always visible to every other repo. This makes it harder for us to make sure repo references within `@bazel_tools` work correctly, since it doesn't go through repo mapping like everything else (example: `@rules_cc` needs to be written as `@rules_cc.0.0.1`)

This CL converts such repos into special built-in modules, which are always visible to other modules (i.e. treated as implicit dependencies of every other module), and are loaded specially (i.e. as if there is always an implicit non-registry override on them).

Additionally, we change the default value of --xcode_version_config to be an alias in @bazel_tools. This means that we won't need to deal with weird repo names like https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/921d79e9d419508f60cc8a96181f38176ff6be03/.bazelrc#L34

Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/14279.

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.
