1. Optinally infer name in use_extension and use_repo_rule …

   Following the documented best practices for [rules and extensions](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L1JFgjpZ7SrBinb24DC_5nTIELeYDacikcme-YcA7xs/edit#heading=h.cy0m49ne5key), a symbol named `foo_deps` should be available from a `.bzl` file called `foo_deps.bzl`. This still results in pretty duplicative `MODULE.bazel` lines:
   
   ```
   foo_deps = use_extension("@rules_foo//foo/extensions:foo_deps.bzl", "foo_deps")
   ```
   
   Instead, Bazel now uses this convention to infer the name if not given:
   
   ```
   foo_deps = use_extension("@rules_foo//foo/extensions:foo_deps.bzl")
   ```
   
   This makes typos less likely and also nudges ruleset authors to adopt the new convention by providing nice syntax.
   
   RELNOTES: `use_extension` and `use_repo_rule` now infer the name from the basename of the `.bzl` file if not provided explicitly.
