cloud-builders Promote `gcr.io/cloud-marketplace-containers/google/bazel` for `bazel` users

You might be able to just merge https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-builders/pull/504, if nobody is still using the special-case logic.

Not an unreasonable approach, but rather than try to chase that down I'm going to follow the same approach I'm using in other deprecations:

Add a deprecation notice pointing users to an official replacement
Stop building the image / stop making updates
Leave the existing built image in place so that current users are not broken if they choose not to move

Can we install tzdata into bazel image please? /usr/share/zoneinfo is missing in the xenial image.

In the cert-manager release tooling we'd like to use gcr.io/cloud-marketplace-containers/google/bazel but we wanted a Bazel 4.2.1 image and couldn't find one, so we switched to gcr.io/cloud-builders/bazel. Unfortunately, that Docker image doesn't have any tags, only digests:

It looks like the marketplace container has not been updated for over a year. Maybe the documentation in this repository should remove links to it? It seems like this bazel builder is actually MORE up to date?

It seems gcr.io/cloud-marketplace-containers/google/bazel is not updated. Therefore it does not seem appropriate to deprecate this builder image in favour of marketplace image.
