Improve reporting of return vales from repository rules

Repository rules may return a value, indicating a version to make
them reproducible in a canonical way (e.g., by adding commit ids, or
the information needed to allow shallow cloning). This information is
recorded in a resolved file, if one is used; but even if none is
used, this information is useful for the user who might want to
manually change the repository definition in their WORKSPACE file.
However, the current wording ("Rule ... modified arguments ...")
did not convey that use clearly; change the wording to help putting
that information into context.

Fixes #7389.

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.
