Bazel 8 compatibility for rules_{gzip,bzip2,xz,zstd,curl,squashfs,diff}, ape and download_utils

[mattyclarkson]

Upstream modules now have multiple Bazel version testing in the CI now.

#3260

[mattyclarkson]

We don't have Mac/Windows coverage upstream...yet. The team is working on getting them sorted.

I'll work through the regressions for ape/rules_curl regressions.

Require module maintainers' approval for newly pushed changes.

[mattyclarkson]

I accidentally enabled Windows coverage for rules_curl which isn't supported yet.

ape has a regression in it's tests for Apple silicon that does not affect the downstream usage of the module, hence the packages that use ape passing. I can create a follow-up PR that resolves the regression in the tests on MacOS.

rules_curl has a regression on Apple Silicon. It is currently in alpha and MacOS support was a best effort. I feel having working Bazel 8 on the supported Linux is better than waiting for a fixed release.

Our team is working on getting CI runners for Mac/Windows. Once we have those, we can avoid these issues in the future and I can start moving the modules to stable releases.

There are two (what look like) infrastructure failures:
