Temporarily remove the Python runfiles library
from @bazel_tools and so prevent releasing it in
Bazel 0.12.0.
Motivation: #4878
Fixing that bug after the python library is in
release Bazel would be harder because users would
need to update their code and BUILD files.
Fixing that bug before the library is released is
a lot easier because nobody depends on it yet, and
we can release the library when it's in the right
place.
