Make `pkg_install` work without "runfiles" (Windows default) (#984)
On Windows, `pkg_install` wouldn't work out of the box without passing
`--enable_runfiles` to Bazel:
```py
windows> bazel run [redacted]//:install -- --destdir=d:\est
[...]
INFO: Running command line: [redacted]/install.exe <args omitted>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "[redacted]\install_install_script.py", line 307, in <module>
sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "[redacted]\install_install_script.py", line 299, in main
installer.include_manifest_path(f)
File "[redacted]\install_install_script.py", line 182, in include_manifest_path
with open(path, 'r') as fh:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '../[redacted]/install_install_script-install-manifest.json'
```
In order to accomodate the various use cases (`build`, `test` and `run`
actions; enabled and disabled runfiles), the present change proposes to
leverage `rules_python`'s "runfiles" lookup library:
https://rules-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/py/runfiles/runfiles.runfiles.html
For good measure, the change also enables `bazel test
//tests/install/...` in CI for Windows.
This might close #387.Bazel rules for building tar, zip, deb, and rpm for packages.
For the latest version, see Releases (with WORKSPACE setup) / Documentation
Use rules-pkg-discuss@googlegroups.com for discussion.
CI: 
As of Bazel 4.x, Bazel uses this rule set for packaging its distribution. Bazel still contains a limited version of pkg_tar but its feature set is frozen. Any new capabilities will be added here.
Sample, but see releases for the current release.
