Sorry for the delay; pulled and tried locally as well, and all looks good. Please resolve the conflicts, then ping me and I'll merge.
It's my goal to remove `dev_deps`, and switching to `buildifier-prebuilt` gets us one step closer to doing that. It should also make CI faster.

Description
This PR is the first in a series to refactor the ruleset to use
rules_jvm_externalfor fetching all Maven artifacts.It refactors the ruleset to use the
buildifier_prebuiltruleset for downloading Buildifier, as opposed to downloading it manually viahttp_archiveindev_deps_repositories. That'll allow us to deletedev_deps_repositoriesin the next PR. It should also speed up internal development, as Buildifier won't have to be built from scratch and the repositories necessary to build it won't have to be downloaded.Motivation
Please see this PR for more information on this initiative and the motivations behind it:
