bazel test ... fails

[blackliner]

Isn't the repo supposed to work out of the box, i.e.

git clone git@github.com:protocolbuffers/protobuf.git
cd protobuf
bazel test ...

I get this error, pointing to some gmock issues?

ERROR: <somewhere>/protobuf/WORKSPACE:25:1: //external:gtest depends on @submodule_gmock//:gtest in repository @submodule_gmock which failed to fetch. no such package '@submodule_gmock//': No WORKSPACE file found in <somewhere>/172c83d5655e7b67c62e3888010a602f/external/submodule_gmock

FYI, this was addressed in #7237, but the default hasn't landed yet.

For now, you can verify with:

$ bazel test --@com_google_protobuf//:incompatible_use_com_google_googletest=true ...

The default is updated in #7907, tentatively targeted for 3.14.0 (or HEAD, if you use HEAD).
