Description

### Description of the feature request:

Once the Starlarkified rules are remove from Bazel all the users should load them from @rules_repos. This might create problems, because the migration is long and tedious.

To make it easier Bazel should initially automatically load the rules and symbols without user intervention.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by identifying the Starlarkified rules and symbols previously provided by Bazel and the existing @rules_repos loading path. Done means Bazel automatically resolves those rules and symbols during the migration without user changes, with compatibility behavior covered by tests.
