There's some rearranging happening here, like moving jar_jar later. But the main thing is downgrading rules_java to 8.15.2. rules_java 8.16 and later somehow break protobuf:
protocolbuffers/protobuf#17687 claims that this is due to not using bazel_skylib 1.7.0, but protobuf_deps is defining bazel_skylib to be 1.7.0 and nothing earlier seems to be defining bazel_skylib. So we'll leave this as a bit of a mystery for later. rules_java 8.15.2 is still newer than protobuf_deps's 8.6.1.
