Description

@fatlotus

Recent versions of Bazel don't provide cc_library and friends by default. That causes an error if you try to link against google-cloud-cpp without --incompatible_autoload_externally=true:

	File "/.../external/google_cloud_cpp+/BUILD.bazel", line 37, column 12, in <toplevel>
		[cc_library(
	File "/virtual_builtins_bzl/bazel/exports.bzl", line 40, column 9, in _removed_rule_failure
Error in fail: 
         This rule has been removed from Bazel. Please add a `load()` statement for it.
         This can also be done automatically by running:
         buildifier --lint=fix <path-to-BUILD-or-bzl-file>

I didn't see an existing tracking bug for this, so filing one now. (Feel free to dup, though, if I just missed it!)
