The `@pypi_<name>` references are deprecated and their repo names are
an implementation detail of how an underlying library is downloaded.
The modern, supported, way is to go through the hub (`@pypi`). This
also makes the code compatible with both workspace and bzlmod.

`com_google_protobuf` and `rules_cc` initialization was moved to `python_init_rules` macros.

This allows users to specify a list of workspaces that contain pre-built local wheels without need to manually add them in requirements.txt files.
The wheels will be automatically processed by bazel rules and injected into the requirements_lock_<py_version>.txt on the fly (assuming `HERMETIC_PYTHON_VERSION=py_version`).
This feature is mainly inspired by pytorch/xla demand, since building pytorch/xla implies first building pytorch repo locally and then pointing to its artifacts (both raw .so files and entire .whl) in pytorch/xla build.
This also helps JAX to facilitate build_jaxlib=false case, as it would eliminate need to manually update requirements_locak.txt files in JAX CI as well.
