Try to build Bazel (4.0) in a rootless environment on Ubuntu Jammy

[j-rivero]

Part of #1

After the works in #2 we probably require Bazel 4.0 to build Drake on Ubuntu Jammy. The Bazel from source compilation uses a previous version of Bazel to bootstrap new Bazel so there is a chance that we can build Bazel 4.0 under a non root account using the system 3.5.1 version on Ubuntu Jammy and use that version to compile Drake instead of the system one.

A quick run for testing shown that it should be possible but there are compilers errors:
