Bazel requires BUILD.bazel files to be in-tree and a MODULE.bazel file to mark the root folder of the module. Moving the Bazel support files to the appropriate place was denied in #4527.
So the Bazel related files in the current folder are useless. Worse, they even actively break downstream packaging (for example when BUILD.bazel loads from repositories not specified in the downstream MODULE.bazel file or when the paths to source files relative to the BUILD.bazel file don't exist.
Therefore, @Vertexwahn and myself agreed that it would be best to delete these files from this repository.
