Allow patching WORKSPACE and BUILD files in http_archive.

By swapping the "workspace_and_buildfile" and "patch" operations in http_archive, we allow users to patch the WORKSPACE and BUILD files using "patch_cmds".

This should be a safe change, because 1) before this change, a patch could not have affected these files anyway, so there should be no patches out there that try to patch these files and 2) for patches that do not affect WORKSPACE or BUILD.bazel files, the order of these operations does not matter.

RELNOTES: WORKSPACE and BUILD.bazel files of http_archive repositories can now be patched using the "patch_cmds" and "patches" attributes.

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.
