Update rules_python to version 1.5.1 (KhronosGroup#6259)

The lastest version of the RE2 dependency uses rules_python version
1.5.1. This breaks our current builds because that version requires at
least bazel 7.4.

This commit updates the version for rules_python to 1.5.1, and update
the CI builds to use bazel v7.4.
