This is a continuation of #22155 that adds the newly added 'remote_files' attribute for http_archive to the bzlmod functionality.
The end goal is to then update BCR to this new functionality to overlay files rather than use patch files when providing MODULE/WORKSPACE/BUILD files.
bazelbuild/bazel-central-registry#1566 has a good discussion of the rationale.
