bazel syntax: move SkylarkCallbackFunction to packages.StarlarkCallbackHelper

By moving this type, we can replace StarlarkContext with BazelStarlarkContext,
which removes one more reference to StarlarkContext from lib.syntax.

The new class name reflects that its instances are not functions.
("Helper" is a technical term meaning "bad abstraction".)

This CL also tightens the parameter types of
rule.implementation, aspect.implementation, and rule.outputs
so that they accept only Starlark ('def') functions, not
callable built-ins such as rule classes, providers, etc.
Strictly speaking this is an incompatible change, but it is
almost inconceivable that anyone outside Blaze itself is
exploiting it.

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.
