[bazel] Fix local_archive to use a string instead of a label

If one wants to use local_archive with a file path outside of the repository, a label is not ideal because we cannot use absolute file path (they will be interpreted as a target). This makes local_archive (and therefore http_archive_or_local with `local = ...`) essentially unusable. Signed-off-by: Amaury Pouly <[email protected]>
