8.0.0 doesn't bootstrap: target 'function_transition_allowlist' not declared in package 'tools/allowlists/function_transition_allowlist'

[svenstaro]

Description of the bug:

I'm on Arch Linux with OpenJDK 21 and I try to build bazel 8.0.0 following the official bootstrapping instructions. I get this:

EXTRA_BAZEL_ARGS="--tool_java_runtime_version=local_jdk" ./compile.sh

Anyone responsible for bootstrapping have insights? That's a configurability-related term but I think the issue is with bootstrapping setup?

We are seeing a similar issue when trying to build for Homebrew.

On a quick attempt on Linux I'm hitting #23964.

Note @@bazel_tools//tools/allowlists/function_transition_allowlist:function_transition_allowlist is at https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/8.0.0/tools/allowlists/function_transition_allowlist/BUILD.tools.

According to the logs this only triggers on rules from rules_java?

There has been work to make references to that target unnecessary. i.e. these rule_java references to function_transition_allowlist are now redundant: it should be safe to remove them with no effect. But I don't see why that would affect anything here.
