Only set `py_runtime.coverage_tool` for Bazel 6 and higher. (#1061)

Only set `py_runtime.coverage_tool` for Bazel 6 and higher.

Avoid setting it in earlier version by checking `native.bazel_version`
in the repository rule and disabling it if less than Bazel 6 is
detected. A warning is also printed if coverage was requested, but
the Bazel version check is ignoring it.

Fixes #1056
