Update Bazel version to 8.4.2

Update Bazel version to be aligned with reference integration.
Add a temporary workaround pinning rules_go to 0.61.1 for running
tests with Bazel 9: rules_go is a transitive (not direct)
dependency, and the version pulled in transitively does not yet
support Bazel 9. Remove once upstream dependencies are updated.
