repository_context.read: drop restriction to current repository
Currently, the read function of the repository context is restricted
to the external repository it is supposed to construct. However,
external repositories are routinely used for configure-like tasks
that inspect a lot of files all over the system and then write a
consolidated descripton of the system to the generated repository. In
fact, even for simple tasks like authentication for http_downloads,
we had to work around that restriction by symlinking the needed
file into the current repository before reading it (followed by
removing the symlink). So simply drop that restriction.
RELNOTES: repository_ctx.read is no longer restricted to files
in the repository contructed.
