fix: make `import python.runfiles` work with `--experimental_python_import_all_repositories=false` (#1243)

Because `--experimental_python_import_all_repositories` defaults to
true, every repository's directory is added to `sys.path`, which makes
`import python.runfiles` work.

However, we shouldn't rely on that behavior for a couple reasons:
* We recommend disabling it for fewer sys.path entries (even non-Python
related
    repos get added to the path).
* Some users _must_ disable it because the resulting PYTHONPATH is too
long.

To fix, set the `imports` attribute on `//python/runfiles:runfiles` so
that `import python.runfiles` works. The net result is the
`rules_python` repo directory is added
to sys.path even if
`--experimental_python_import_all_repositories=false`.

Fixes #1241
