bazel: bump to 7.6.0

[oharboe]

Need to upgrade to be able to support MODULE.bazel

[hzeller]

did you try if it works ? I think there are various bits and pieces that need to be addressed before it does.

6.5.0 can also deal with MODULE.bazel if that is the issue.

Trying a "bazel build ...", seems to work... Still running...

Any reason to stay at 6 if we can go directly to 7.6.0?

CI: Needs /gcbrun from a collaborator

I think Ethan mentioned that it won't work with newer bazels yet.

6.5.0

I upgraded because 6.5.0 appears to ignore MODULE.bazel.

Hours of building can save me 5 minutes of reading the manual :-) https://bazel.build/external/migration#enable-bzlmod

$ cat MODULE.bazel 
aksjldaslkjfas

$ bazel query :*
//:BUILD
//:LICENSE
//:package_license
Loading: 0 packages loaded
$ cat .bazelversion 
6.5.0

This PR passes smoke-testing at least:

Thanks! I'm catching up now.

I've become aware of the work that's being done here, so closing this issue.

#336 (comment)

[hzeller]

Note, there is a lot of work involved getting things to work with bzlmod here. I think it makes sense to rather focus on building a bzlmod directly than trying to get things going here.
