* Move Gazelle extension to //gazelle/bzl and change package name

This fixes an issue with importing bazel-skylib into
google3. Currently, Glaze (internal Go build file generator) attempts
to generate a target (//gazelle:gazelle) that conflicts with one
that's already declared here.

I think the right solution is actually to move the package into a
subdirectory. In the future (bazelbuild/bazel-gazelle#5), Gazelle's Go
extension will generate target names similar to what Glaze does, so
the same conflict will happen in open source. I think it's also
logical to have a directory of packages in case more need to be added
in the future, and for the extension to have a package name matching
the language it works with.

This is an incompatible change, but the //gazelle directory isn't part
of a tagged release yet, so hopefully it won't break anyone.

* fix runfiles access in test

* Fix gazelle package names.

Gazelle

Gazelle is a BUILD file generator for Bazel. This directory contains a language extension for the Gazelle generator that allows it to automatically parse valid bzl_library targets for all .bzl files in a repo in which it runs. It will additionally include a deps entry tracking every .bzl that is loaded into the primary file.

This can be used, for example, to generate stardoc documentation for your .bzl files, both simplify the task of and improve the quality of documentation.
