Flag flip for `--experimental_sibling_repository_layout` and `--legacy_external_runfiles`

See original GitHub issue

We are changing the way external repositories are handled: they will be a sibling of the main repository instead living in the external/ directory under it, both in the execroot and in runfiles trees.

That is, files in them will be accessible at ../$REPO instead of external/$REPO.

This is a tracking bug for the imminent flag flip and a place to list tips for the migration and things that broke.

FYI, @TLATER , https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/16008 appears to fix the failed test for me! Very exciting.

@oquenchil Do you have any comments about how C++ rules set up the shared library path? (see above)

@lberki @jin The commit in question was authored by someone on the Roboleaf team (IIRC) who has since left the team. Do you have any comments on the breakage?
