…bzl (bazelbuild#3855) This allows repos produced by `rust_toolchain_tools_repository` to use the remote repo content cache. Using Bazel 9.0.0 and the remote repo content cache, the external directory in the output base is much smaller when using this patch. Downloading the toolchain, which comes in at almost 800 MB, can be entirely skipped when using remote execution. Before: ```shell external # du -h -d1 | sort -h | grep rules_rust <SNIP> 4.0K ./rules_rust++i+rules_rust_tinyjson 32K ./rules_rust++rust+rust_toolchains 196K ./rules_rust_prost+ 6.1M ./rules_rust+ 787M ./rules_rust++rust+rust_linux_x86_64__x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu__stable_tools ``` After: ```shell external # du -h -d1 | sort -h | grep rules_rust <SNIP> 4.0K ./rules_rust++i+rules_rust_tinyjson 4.0K ./rules_rust++rust+rust_linux_x86_64__x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu__stable_tools 32K ./rules_rust++rust+rust_toolchains 196K ./rules_rust_prost+ 6.1M ./rules_rust+ ```
