Undefined @@rules_java_builtin repository with --noenable_workspace option

Description of the bug:

It is sometimes necessary to have a WORSPACE file inside a test data directory. This is particularly the case for gazelle tests using the rule gazelle_generation_test.
But when we use a pure bzlmod Bazel project, with --enable_bzlmod and --noenable_workspace options, and without a file WORKSPACE.bzlmod, Bazel fails to visit this tests data directory containing a WORKSPACE file:

ERROR: Failed to load package, for testdata, skipping: error loading package '': Unable to find package for @@rules_java_builtin//toolchains:local_java_repository.bzl: The repository '@@rules_java_builtin' could not be resolved: Repository '@@rules_java_builtin' is not defined.

• No problem with --enable_workspace option.
• No problem with an empty WORKSPACE.bzlmod
• No problem with an empty MODULE.bazel file inside the test data directory (gazelle_generation_test should support this solution).

Thanks for the report! We missed a case of disabling WORKSPACE logic in LocalRepositoryLookupFunction. I'll send a change.
