Decide whether to replace bazel-skylib #927

Description

Context:

Now that this repo is under Linux Foundation in bazel-contrib, it's time for a fresh discussion of whether to remove our dependency on bazel-skylib and just fork it the rest of the way.

Why not to fork:

  • duplicated effort
  • Google's bug fixes in bazel-skylib won't be picked up here, and vice versa

Why to fork:

  • when changes aren't accepted to skylib, it will be clear where you could put them instead
  • this repo can remove a dependency, which is nice since it's near the root of the Bazel Module graph.
