chore: remove py_proto_library from bzlmod example

[rickeylev]

With the py_proto_library rules removed from rules_python, rules_python is no
longer the appropriate place to have examples for using the py_proto_library
rules. Having such example also causes some maintenance burden, as apparently
it incurs a nodejs dependency, which fails under newer bazel versions.

Fixes #3362

Summary of Changes

Hello @rickeylev, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request streamlines the bzlmod example by completely removing the py_proto_library examples. This change is necessary because the py_proto_library rules are no longer part of rules_python, and maintaining these examples introduced unnecessary complexity and compatibility issues, particularly with nodejs dependencies and newer Bazel versions. The removal simplifies the example set and reduces maintenance overhead.

Highlights

• Removal of py_proto_library examples: The entire py_proto_library example directory within examples/bzlmod has been removed, including all associated BUILD files, proto definitions, and Python test scripts.
• Dependency Cleanup: Associated Bazel module dependencies, such as protobuf and foo_external, along with their local path overrides, have been removed from examples/bzlmod/MODULE.bazel.
• Maintenance Burden Reduction: This change addresses and resolves maintenance issues previously caused by these examples, specifically a nodejs dependency and compatibility problems with newer Bazel versions.

Code Review

This pull request removes the py_proto_library example from the bzlmod examples. This is a necessary cleanup since the py_proto_library rules have been removed from rules_python. The changes are comprehensive, including the deletion of all related example files and directories, as well as the removal of corresponding dependencies from MODULE.bazel and entries from .bazelignore. The changes are clean and appear to be complete. I have no specific comments on the code changes as they correctly implement the intended removal.

Should we remove py_proto dependency and mark the next release as 2.0?
