feat: don't require 'out' on expand_template (#798)
In a lot of cases the name of the generated file is unimportant.
For example in https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_oci/pull/534 I wanted to remove 'out' in a bunch of these calls.

Template expansion
This performs a simple search over the template file for the keys in substitutions,
and replaces them with the corresponding values.
Values may also use location templates as documented in
[expand_locations](https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-lib/blob/main/docs/expand_make_vars.md#expand_locations)
as well as [configuration variables](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/skylark/lib/ctx.html#var)
such as `$(BINDIR)`, `$(TARGET_CPU)`, and `$(COMPILATION_MODE)` as documented in
[expand_variables](https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-lib/blob/main/docs/expand_make_vars.md#expand_variables).
**ATTRIBUTES**
| Name | Description | Type | Mandatory | Default |
| :------------- | :------------- | :------------- | :------------- | :------------- |
| <a id="expand_template_rule-name"></a>name | A unique name for this target. | <a href="https://bazel.build/concepts/labels#target-names">Name</a> | required | |
| <a id="expand_template_rule-data"></a>data | List of targets for additional lookup information. | <a href="https://bazel.build/concepts/labels">List of labels</a> | optional | <code>[]</code> |
| <a id="expand_template_rule-is_executable"></a>is_executable | Whether to mark the output file as executable. | Boolean | optional | <code>False</code> |
| <a id="expand_template_rule-out"></a>out | Where to write the expanded file.<br><br> If the <code>template</code> is a source file, then <code>out</code> defaults to be named the same as the template file and outputted to the same workspace-relative path. In this case there will be no pre-declared label for the output file. It can be referenced by the target label instead. This pattern is similar to <code>copy_to_bin</code> but with substitutions on the copy.<br><br> Otherwise, <code>out</code> defaults to <code>[name].txt</code>. | <a href="https://bazel.build/concepts/labels">Label</a> | optional | |
| <a id="expand_template_rule-stamp"></a>stamp | Whether to encode build information into the output. Possible values:<br><br> - <code>stamp = 1</code>: Always stamp the build information into the output, even in [--nostamp](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/user-manual.html#flag--stamp) builds. This setting should be avoided, since it is non-deterministic. It potentially causes remote cache misses for the target and any downstream actions that depend on the result. - <code>stamp = 0</code>: Never stamp, instead replace build information by constant values. This gives good build result caching. - <code>stamp = -1</code>: Embedding of build information is controlled by the [--[no]stamp](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/user-manual.html#flag--stamp) flag. Stamped targets are not rebuilt unless their dependencies change. | Integer | optional | <code>-1</code> |
| <a id="expand_template_rule-stamp_substitutions"></a>stamp_substitutions | Mapping of strings to substitutions.<br><br> There are overlayed on top of substitutions when stamping is enabled for the target.<br><br> Substitutions can contain $(execpath :target) and $(rootpath :target) expansions, $(MAKEVAR) expansions and {{STAMP_VAR}} expansions when stamping is enabled for the target. | <a href="https://bazel.build/rules/lib/dict">Dictionary: String -> String</a> | optional | <code>{}</code> |
| <a id="expand_template_rule-substitutions"></a>substitutions | Mapping of strings to substitutions.<br><br> Substitutions can contain $(execpath :target) and $(rootpath :target) expansions, $(MAKEVAR) expansions and {{STAMP_VAR}} expansions when stamping is enabled for the target. | <a href="https://bazel.build/rules/lib/dict">Dictionary: String -> String</a> | optional | <code>{}</code> |
| <a id="expand_template_rule-template"></a>template | The template file to expand. | <a href="https://bazel.build/concepts/labels">Label</a> | required | |
<a id="expand_template"></a>
