Adjustment to work with most recent prometheus-cpp and bazel releases

[tolleiv]

Hi, here's all I had to adjust to build the conntrack_exporter with the most recent prometheus-cpp and bazel releases.

Hope this helps somebody.

Hi @tolleiv, I'm a bit embarrased that I hadn't noticed your PR back in 2020! My apologies.

@sergey-safarov just posted about a build problem in another issue and I mentioned he should make a PR and I'll merge. Sergey, perhaps try using Tolleiv's PR as a starting point since it looks like it solves your issue, and if it builds please update me and I'll merge it.

Thanks!

I successfully compiled sources on Fedora 37 and bazel 6 on arm server. Only required change.

@sergey-safarov ”I successfully compiled” means on the master branch or with this PR?

Also I don’t have access to a Fedora box to test and don’t want to merge hand rolled untested code. Would you mind updating this PR or making a new one? Thanks
