Add test local_repository calls to WORKSPACE

Removes `native.{,new_}local_repository()` calls in macros in favor of
`local_repository` calls from `WORKSPACE`. Part of bazel-contrib#1482.

`native.{,new_}local_repository()` isn't available under Bzlmod,
`@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:local.bzl` with the Starlarkified
definitions isn't available under Bazel 6, and Bazel 8 compatibility
work is imminent. Redefining the repositories in this way will be
compatible with Bazel 6, 7, and 8, both under `WORKSPACE` and Bzlmod.
(`MODULE.bazel` will use a combination of `bazel_dep()` and
`local_path_override()`.)
