Add third_party/rules_python to WORKSPACE as @rules_python

These will be used by third_party/protobuf in a follow-up.

Also update a test that uses protobuf and that will break when protobuf is
updated (since the test can't be changed in the same PR as third_party/).

Break-out of bazelbuild#9019. Closes bazelbuild#9048. Work toward bazelbuild#9006.
