Simplify WORKSPACE setup and update ancient deps
By removing a single unused `bzl_library` target, rules_cc no longer has
any dependencies that would need to be loaded by a dependency macro. The
existing macro is made a no-op.
The few needed Bazel Federation dependencies are inlined and, in the
case of bazel_skylib and abseil-py, updated to modern versions.
Also reorders `WORKSPACE` to list direct dependencies first and keeps
`MODULE.bazel` in sync with the dependency versions used in WORKSPACE.
The `ubuntu1604` CI pipeline is removed as the version of Python used by
it is no longer supported and the distribution is EOL. Instead, a new
pipeline is added to check the Bzlmod build.

*** Reason for rollback ***
Broke a test
*** Original change description ***
The auto-configured toolchains provided by Bazel itself have diverged heavily from the version maintained in this repo. There is no need to maintain this duplication until Starlarkification has progressed succiciently for rules_cc to be the source of truth for them.
This is particularly relevant for Bzlmod, which currently uses the toolchains defined in rules_cc. As a result, Bazel C++ builds will use subtly different toolchains depending on whether --enable_bzlmod is used or not. This is fixed...

This is particularly relevant for Bzlmod, which currently uses the toolchains defined in rules_cc. As a result, Bazel C++ builds will use subtly different toolchains depending on whether --enable_bzlmod is used or not. This is fixed by loading toolchain detection logic from @bazel_tools in the module extension.
Closes #163
