genquery + transitions: build error when query succeeds

[robfig]

Description of the problem / feature request:

Using Bazel 4.2.0, a genquery expression fails when the corresponding bazel query succeeds, apparently due to not handling an important transition used by rules_go to implement the "nogo" static analysis tool.

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

To reproduce:

git clone [email protected]:robfig/rules_go-issue2991.git
cd rules_go-issue2991
bazel build //:foo_go_proto # works
bazel query "kind('proto_library', deps(//:foo_go_proto))" # works
bazel build //:deps # fails

The error message:

ERROR: /private/var/tmp/_bazel_robfig/cf4a500e949de5c5d412d75252cf434f/external/io_bazel_rules_go/BUILD.bazel:73:16: in go_context_data rule @io_bazel_rules_go//:go_context_data: cycle in dependency graph:

This was discovered after rules_go moved to transitions for static analysis support in this commit: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/commit/63dfd99403076331fef0775d52a8039d502d4115

I don't see any way to fix it within rules_go.
