test_base.py: use bazel-runfiles to respect repo mappings

Use rules_python to fetch the bazel-runfiles pip package, we can later migrate other checked-in Python deps to rules_python as well.

On linux and macOS, we are using a hermetic Python toolchain fetched by rules_python, which helped avoid issues with older system installed Python version (<=3.6) on centos7 and ubuntu1804.

On windows, the hermetic Python toolchain doesn't work with `pywin32` pip package, therefore we still use the auto-detected python toolchain.

For bootstrapping test, we need to use the auto-detected python toolchain to avoid downloading Python.

Working towards: bazelbuild#18957
