Fixes to allow downstream project to set a different Python toolchain.

Previously, in the typical use case where `python_interpreter_target`
is passed, the @bazel_rules_hdl//:init.bzl init macro would always
call the vendored `install_deps`. However, this would only work if
the passed in toolchain name matched the one used to generate the
vendored requirements.bzl (since @python39 is hardcoded as a default
inside).

Now, we pass along any interpreter args to the vendored `install_deps`
to override the defaults as documented at:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python/blob/main/examples/pip_parse_vendored/README.md.
This also eliminates the documented requirement to use the generated
pip deps instead of the vendored version if an interpreter arg is
set.

We also update rules_python to the latest version, allowing the use
of the "_host" toolchain label to avoid loading the interpreter per
bazelbuild/rules_python#1644.

Finally, we clean up other references to the pip_parse repo (which
was only intended for the vendoring) and move them to use the
vendored deps directly.
