Backport recent package metadata and license check capabilities from Bazel 6.x. (bazelbuild#16892)

More context: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uyJjkKbE8kV8EinakaR9q-Un25zCukhoH_dRBkWHSKQ/edit#

1. Rename default_applicable_licenses to default_package_metadata.

Leave default_applicable_licenses as an alias.  Don't allow both to be set.

Pick: bazelbuild@ace99b5

2.  Improve the check for being a package metadata rule

This allows the refactoring which will happen after default_applicable_licenses is renamed to default_package_metadata. The current behavior is intended to prevent `applicable_licenses` from being set on a `license` rule. The required behavior is that we don't set `applicable_licenses` on any of the metadata rules.

Pick: bazelbuild@bbc221f
