Flag --incompatible_config_setting_private_default_visibility will break rules_kotlin in Bazel 7.0

[keertk]

Incompatible flag --incompatible_config_setting_private_default_visibility will be enabled by default in the next major release (Bazel 7.0), thus breaking rules_kotlin. Please migrate to fix this and unblock the flip of this flag.

The flag is documented here: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/12933.

Please check the following CI builds for build and test results:

• Ubuntu 18.04, OpenJDK 11
