Name change in bazelbuild/rules_cc

[ChrisReinke]

Hello,

it seems there was a name change of the branch in bazelbuild/rules_cc from "master" to "main".

Here is a corresponding thread: bazelbuild/rules_cc#107

Thus, when I run the code, it does not work and I get:

bazel run :game -- --level_script=tests/empty_room_test --level_setting=logToStdErr=true
Starting local Bazel server and connecting to it...

It works when I change in the WORKSPACE file lines 11 - 15 to

http_archive(
    name = "rules_cc",
    strip_prefix = "rules_cc-main",
    urls = ["https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_cc/archive/main.zip"],
)

Yes, we'll have to fix that. I'll send a patch. Thanks!

[tkoeppe]

Hm, looks like we don't even need this dependency anymore. It must have been used by something else in the past, but I don't see it now.
