pip.parse() module extension

Description

When the same pip package is (transitively) depended upon multiple times from different requirements.txt files, it is undefined which version will be chosen (both are added to the PYTHONPATH and the order of deps decides which one takes precedence).
This is especially problematic for transitive dependencies of module dependencies where one only has limited to no influence of which version is chosen. This is especially problematic for fundamental libraries like Protobuf which gets pulled in transitively in many requirements.txt.
The way this is handled in golang, is that every dependency is its own Bazel repo and as such takes part in version resolution. This makes sure that every package only exists once within a given Bazel workspace.

Describe the solution you'd like

Generate one Bazel repo per pip dependency.

Describe alternatives you've considered

For the transition period, rules_python could generate both, one repo for all of requirements.txt and one repo per dependency. This way, users can easily migrate from one approach to another. In a future major version, the old functionality could be removed.
