migrating new_local_repository() rules from WORKSPACE to MODULE.bazel

[Diego]

Hi, the migration guide at https://bazel.build/external/migration doesn't make it clear how to migrate new_local_repository() rules. For example, I have this rule below in my WORKSPACE to access windows libraries and I don't know how to port it to MODULE.bazel

new_local_repository(

    name = "win32_libs",

    # NOTE: replace with your own Windows libraries path

    path = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Lib/10.0.18362.0/um/x64",

    build_file_content = """

cc_library(

    name = "win32",

    srcs = [

        "Gdi32.lib",

        "User32.lib",

        "OpenGL32.lib",

    ],

    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],

)

""",

)

How can I port this rule to MODULE.bazel?

Thanks!

One option is `use_repo_rule`, example from our codebase:

```

new_local_repository = use_repo_rule("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:local.bzl", "new_local_repository")

new_local_repository(
    name = "llvm-raw",
    build_file_content = "exports_files(glob([\"**\"]))",
    path = "third-party/llvm-project",
)
```
