Add third_party/rules_python to WORKSPACE as @rules_python
These will be used by third_party/protobuf in a follow-up.
Also update a test that uses protobuf and that will break when protobuf is
updated (since the test can't be changed in the same PR as third_party/).
Break-out of #9019. Closes #9048. Work toward #9006.
