Description
# 🚀 feature request
### Relevant Rules
`pip.parse()` (not a rule, but the module extension tag)
### Description
Just putting this out there to gather feedback and see if it's worth implementing myself. I use Python as a pretty minor part of my polyglot Bazel codebase, and it has a single PyPI dependency. Call me petty, but I just don't like having to put that 1 dependency in its own `requirements.txt` file when all my other dependencies are listed directly in `MODULE.bazel`.
### Describe the solution you'd like
Is there any appetite for adding a new parameter to `pip.parse()` called `requirements` (as an alternative to `requirements_lock`) which is just a Starlark list of strings that get parsed as though they were the lines of a `requirements.txt` file? This would be kinda nice for really simple cases like mine, but perhaps "not recommended" for larger Python projects.
### Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatives already exist, but if the maintainers would welcome a PR to this effect, then I can draft one up.
