feat(gazelle) Remove entry point file requirements when generating rules (#2998)

Remove entry point file requirements when generating rules. Enable
python rule generation as long as there are .py source files under the
directory so all new packages will have python rules generated in the
package.

The extension used to require entrypoints for generation but:
- entry point for tests (i.e., `__test__.py` ) is no longer required
after https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/pull/999 and
https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/pull/2044
- entry point for binaries (i.e., `__main__.py` ) is no longer required
after https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/pull/1584

The entry point for libraries (`__init__.py` ) shouldn't be required
either, especially for Python 3.3 and after when namespace packages are
supported.

Python Rules for Bazel

Build status

Overview

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.
