Description

Im in no hurry to do this as afaict its likely to break quite a lot of things

That said my understanding is that bzlmod fixes many of the underlying issues in the workspace system, and is the future of bazel dep management, so we probs should embrace sooner or later

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current Bazel workspace setup and understand the bzlmod migration process. Identify dependencies that need to be converted and test each step incrementally.
