After some thought, I have to say that forcing a local strategy for
copy_file/copy_directory is inappropriate. The point of a sandbox is to
catch hermeticity bugs; disabling the sandbox may be useful for
performance, but it's up to the user to do it if they trust us - and
they can do it via flag. The default should be paranoia and safety.
And on the subject of strategies - using a genrule to create an empty
directory fails in environments where genrules run remote by default
(and thus, copy_directory tests fail). We could, of course, set local=1,
but that disables the sandbox and causes scary warnings. Instead, add a
proper empty_directory rule to test with.
Google internal linters are flagging skylib 1.3.0 because the stardoc_with_diff_test
macro lack a copyright notice and does not use a `name` parameter.
Creates MODULE.bazel and WORKSPACE.bzlmod files to enable bazel-skylib
to work with the `--experimental_enable_bzlmod` flag.
rules_go has been updated as the previously used version is not
available in the BCR.
stardoc has been updated due to a strange issue with Bzlmod enabled that
caused the `diff_test` and `unittest` docs to be generated without any
contents that was magically fixed upon updating.

copy_file currently includes the copied file in its runfiles even if it is not executable, which makes every rule depending on it have the file as a runfile (e.g. a `cc_library` depending on a copied header file via the hdrs attribute).
In an ideal world, according to https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/skylark/rules.html#runfiles-features-to-avoid, `copy_file` would not need to specify any runfiles in the `DefaultInfo` it returns - specifying `files` should suffice. However, due to the existence of rules with legacy behavior, this would break compatibility (actually, already with `sh_test` in skylib's unit tests).
As a compromise that preserves compatibility with legacy rules but nevertheless cleans up the runfiles tree of depending rules, use the `data_runfiles` attribute of `DefaultInfo` if the copied file is not executable.
Followup to #330: remove the wrapper macro and export the rule directly; the macro
does not serve any useful function. As a side effect, this fixes the inability to
set tags etc., since the macro did not support **kwargs.
This attribute is incorrectly being built in the host configuration when
(like any test) it will run in the target configuration. This means that
cross compilation will be broken and options that differ between host
and target (e.g. `NDEBUG`) will not be as set by the user.
I confirmed that without this fix, a test binary with `assert(false)`
passes when run under `native_test`.
Additionally, the use of `allow_single_file` precludes rules that return
multiple files in their DefaultInfo (like `py_binary`). Instead, we can
use `allow_files` and access via `ctx.executable`.
