feat(pypi): enable pipstar by default (#3225) Before this PR we were using our python helpers to parse the whl METADATA for a particular host (or experimentally - target) platform and the fixed dependency list would be written to the `BUILD.bazel` files materialized by the `whl_library` repository rule. This PR adds extra plumbing to leverage the Starlark implementation of the METADATA file parsing (a.k.a. pipstar) which moves the evaluation to analysis phase as we will get the target platform details via the `env_marker_config_setting` from the `toolchain` used for the dependencies. Since users are normally working with a subset of platforms that the METADATA would pull in, we are writing the list of packages from the requirements file to a `bzl` file so that `pipstar` knows which packages to consider when parsing the METADATA. This will ensure that `bazel query` continues to work. Since just passing the list of packages to the `whl_library` would cause refetches of all of the `whl_library` dependencies when we add or remove a package, we pass a path where to load the symbol called `packages` from, which means that only the analysis phase will be affected because the macros will be re-evaluated if one adds or removes a package. We still need to download the correct platform-specific wheels for the right platform in order to fully resolve the referenced tickets. With this PR we are deprecating the `experimental_target_platforms` attribute since it has no longer any effect.

This repository is the home of the core Python rules -- py_library, py_binary, py_test, py_proto_library, and related symbols that provide the basis for Python support in Bazel. It also contains package installation rules for integrating with PyPI and other indices.
Documentation for rules_python is at https://rules-python.readthedocs.io and in the Bazel Build Encyclopedia.
Examples live in the examples directory.
The core rules are stable. Their implementation is subject to Bazel's backward compatibility policy. This repository aims to follow semantic versioning.
The Bazel community maintains this repository. Neither Google nor the Bazel team provides support for the code. However, this repository is part of the test suite used to vet new Bazel releases. See How to contribute page for information on our development workflow.
