Revert "Build with C11 on MSVC in the standalone Bazel build"

This reverts commit 28e4a1b838b2ffbf9e2151ae5fcfffe5ab0ffac0. Bazel
broke --cxxopt on Windows in
https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/15073, which means projects
enabling, say, C++20 with --cxxopt=/std:c++20 are silently passing
/std:c++20 to our C files.

This is already a problem, but MSVC is smart enough to silently ignore
the flag when building C. However, MSVC will report an error if you then
pass /std:c++20 /std:c11 into the same command. It seems that check is
not aware of this ignoring behavior.

Ultimately, this is a Bazel bug, and one that makes the broken versions
of Bazel unsuitable for use with C. This was fixed in Bazel in
https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/18119 and backported to the
upcoming Bazel 6.3.0 release in
https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/18552

Temporarily revert the change. When Bazel 6.3.0 is released, we'll put
this back and require Windows users use a functioning version of Bazel.

Fixed: 623

BoringSSL

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.

Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.

Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.

BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.

Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
