This is an attempt to see how well we do without rules_nixpkgs.
rules_nixpkgs has the following problems:
- complicates our build system significantly (generated external
repository indirection for picking local/nix python and go)
- creates builds that cannot run on production (as they are tainted by
/nix/store libraries)
- is not a full solution to the bazel hermeticity problem anyway, and
we'll have to tackle that some other way (eg. by introducing proper
C++ cross-compilation toolchains and building everything from C,
including Python and Go)
Instead of rules_nixpkgs, we ship a shell.nix file, so NixOS users can
just:
jane@hacker:~/hscloud $ nix-shell
hscloud-build-chrootenv:jane@hacker:~/hscloud$ prodaccess
This shell.nix is in a way nicer, as it immediately gives you all tools
needed to access production straight away.

This turns the existing script into a proper sh_binary, and injects
dependencies (kubectl and jq) as deps into it.
This change also pulls in BUILDfiles for jq, and a dep (oniguruma) into
//third_party, and adds buildable external repositories for them.
The jq/oniguruma BUILDfiles are lifted from
https://github.com/attilaolah/bazel-tools/.
