cc_binary rule don't allow files to have an extension like ".include"

[mpatou-openai]

Description of the bug:

I'm trying to bazelify some code that relies on https://github.com/calccrypto/uint256_t and cc_binary are failing when I try to includes the .include files:

src/cpp/BUILD.bazel:1577:10: in cc_binary rule //cpp:backend_test:

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

• clone the repository https://github.com/calccrypto/uint256_t in a third-party directory
• create a cc_binary that has the following sources

  srcs = [
     "third-party/uint256_t/uint128_t/endianness.h",
     "third-party/uint256_t/uint128_t/uint128_t.h",
     "third-party/uint256_t/uint256_t.h",
     "third-party/uint256_t/uint128_t/uint128_t.include",
     "third-party/uint256_t/uint128_t/uint128_t_config.include",
     "third-party/uint256_t/uint256_t.include",
     "third-party/uint256_t/uint256_t_config.include",
     "foo.cc"
  ],
