Upstream Bzlmod changes to original repositories

[Vertexwahn]

FYI: Abseil and Google Test have now a MODULE.bazel file.

PR for gflags is open since Sep 16, 2023: gflags/gflags#353

Here's a start for rules_python bazelbuild/rules_python#744

For anyone who'd be motivated by a payout for helping here, there's money in the https://opencollective.com/bazel-rules-authors-sig which we can turn into a bug bounty here.

FYI I checked off rules_nodejs - I don't think it belonged on that list though, since no file for it was ever committed as part of #7. (same for rules_sass - I assume those are only needed for building some documentation site and not for the bazel binary, so they were omitted from #7 as not strictly needed for building Bazel)

@alexeagle Regardless of #7, rules_nodejs still fits the definition of "The list of modules in the BCR that already natively supports Bazel but not yet migrated to Bzlmod", right?
Don't you think rules_nodejs should also support Bzlmod natively giving "aspect_rules_js" still depends on it?

[alexeagle]

Sure, I was a bit too pedantic there - rules_nodejs is migrated to bzlmod already.

Should we link upstream tracking issues and PRs here as well?
