Creating buildbarn storage image doesn't work on bazel 7

[ericlchen1]

Running the suggested command to create a buildbarn storage image doesn't work bazel run --platforms=@io_bazel_rules_go//go/toolchain:linux_amd64 //cmd/bb_storage:bb_storage_container

Bazelisk automatically downloads Bazel 7 which was recently released and doesn't seem to be compatible with bb-storage. I suggest adding a .bazelversion file with 6.4.0 until compatibility with Bazel 7 is done.

Hi, I took a quick look.

The main errors comes form rules_docker and platform transitions/providers. rules_docker is deprecated and the status of bazel7 and bzlmodule support is unclear. But there is a workaround flag: --@io_bazel_rules_docker//transitions:enable=false that removes most of the build errors. https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_docker/issues/2275

This will build, but I did not verify that the images work properly.

Then it seems that we need to update protobuf and rules_js. Those updates are simple enough and we can commit that soon:

@minor-fixes added the .bazelignore file: https://github.com/buildbarn/bb-storage/pull/195 I haven't had any time to verify the docker images in the draft PR #186.
