Conversation
Add two more options to `bazel mod show_repo` that allow showing "all" repos, for some definition of "all":
* `--all_repos` actually shows all repos in the workspace;
* `--all_visible_repos` shows all repos visible to the `--base_module`, accompanied by the apparent repo name each repo is known by.
These two options provide a replacement for `bazel query //external:*` that used to work in the WORKSPACE era.
A few notes:
1. Technically, `--all_visible_repos` is possible already using something like
```sh
bazel mod dump_repo_mapping '' |
jq -r 'to_entries[] | select(.value != "" and .value != "bazel_tools") | "@" + .key' |
xargs bazel mod show_repo
```
However, that's clearly too complicated for everyone using Bazel to construct on their own. `dump_repo_mapping` is also not documented on the Bazel website.
I am unable to come up with a way to get the same effect as `--all_repos` with existing commands.
2. Related to `--all_visible_repo`: I considered creating a `--base_repo` option so that one can examine all repos visible to a module extension repo, but decided against it:
* It's unclear how `--base_repo` should interact with `--base_module` – or if they should be the same option in the first place.
* It makes this PR a little too complicated. (We'd either need another call to Skyframe to get the repo mapping since it's not available in moduleInspector or depGraphValue, or inline the logic in [ModuleExtensionRepoMappingEntriesFunction](https://cs.opensource.google/bazel/bazel/+/master:src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/bazel/bzlmod/ModuleExtensionRepoMappingEntriesFunction.java;l=75-77;drc=c475b38401d80dc4970ddc7ac18b4d74e0eacac3) into ModCommand).
Fixes: bazelbuild#27224
Closes bazelbuild#27241.

Code Review
This pull request adds --all_repos and --all_visible_repos options to bazel mod show_repo, providing a modern replacement for bazel query //external:*. The implementation looks solid, with good documentation and test coverage. I have one suggestion to improve argument validation for the show_repo command to provide a better user experience when no arguments or flags are provided.

### What does this PR do? Bump `bazel` version from 8.5.1 to 8.6.0 to benefit from a series of improvements and fixes. Ours (bazelbuild/bazel#28367) allows to re-enable "convenience symlinks" for Windows users and makes [`path.realpath`](https://bazel.build/rules/lib/builtins/path#realpath) succeed when sharing a folder between a Linux host and a Windows VM. ### Motivation Selected changes between 8.5.1 and 8.6.0: - 💡 bazelbuild/bazel#28001 - bazelbuild/bazel#28012 - 💡 bazelbuild/bazel#28189 - bazelbuild/bazel#28277 - bazelbuild/bazel#28343 - 🐕 bazelbuild/bazel#28367 - bazelbuild/bazel#28529 - bazelbuild/bazel#28538 - bazelbuild/bazel#28551 - bazelbuild/bazel#28722 Co-authored-by: regis.desgroppes <[email protected]>
