[7.1.0] Cherry-pick the change to reduce repository invalidations to …

…Bazel 7.1 (#20949)

HEAD is wasteful because sometimes just checking the up-to-dateness of
fetched repositories takes a lot of time (if there is a lot of hashing
to be done), so it's better to get a Skyframe cache hit if at all
possible.

This is not the full answer because repositories that depend only on
unchanged environment variables will still need to be re-checked if
there is an environment variable that does change, but it's still a step
forward.

RELNOTES: None.
