    Remove strings from providers list
    
    More information on: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/25836
    
    Strings used to refer to legacy struct providers, which were removed in a previous LSC.
    
    Legacy struct providers have been deprecated by Bazel. Replacing them with modern providers, will make it possible to simplify and remove legacy handling from Bazel.
    
    The change is a no-op.
