Hidden dependencies with Gerrit and Bazel

This is going to be very short.

I was trying to build the "go-import" plugin for Gerrit (because apparently no one wants to build it and publish it), and I spent the past four hours trying to get "bazel build ..." to actually run.

If you're getting errors like these:
root@25f962af2a00:/gerrit# bazel fetch //...
ERROR: /gerrit/lib/jetty/BUILD:1:1: no such package '@jetty_servlet//jar': Argument 0 of execute is neither a path nor a string. and referenced by '//lib/jetty:servlet'

root@25f962af2a00:/gerrit# bazel build --verbose_failures plugins/go-import:go-import
ERROR: /gerrit/lib/BUILD:176:1: no such package '@jsr305//jar': Argument 0 of execute is neither a path nor a string. and referenced by '//lib:jsr305'
ERROR: Analysis of target '//plugins/go-import:go-import' failed; build aborted

Then you probably also need these packages:

1. nodejs
2. npm
3. zip

I was building on a Docker container, and it didn't have any of those.

The "Argument 0 of execute" line appears to be referring to some internal call to "execute" that looks something like "execute("npm",...)" or "execute("zip",...").

Anyway, that instantly fixed my problem.
