feat: Upgrade to protobuf 27.0 and remove py_proto_library (#1933)

Protobuf team is taking ownership of `py_proto_library` and the
implementation was moved to protobuf repository.

Remove py_proto_library from rules_python, to prevent divergent
implementations.

Make a redirect with a deprecation warning, so that this doesn't break
any users.

Expected side effect of this change is also that the protobuf version is
sufficiently updated that there is no more use of legacy struct
providers.

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.

Currently, the core rules build into the Bazel binary, and the symbols in this repository are simple aliases. However, we are migrating the rules to Starlark and removing them from the Bazel binary. Therefore, the future-proof way to depend on Python rules is via this repository. SeeMigrating from the Bundled Rules below.

The core rules are stable. Their implementation in Bazel is subject to Bazel's backward compatibility policy. Once migrated to rules_python, they may evolve at a different rate, but this repository will still 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.
