[Bug]: bazel run -- @pnpm//:pnpm does not work

[peakschris]

What happened?

The documentation says that I should be able to invoke:

bazel run -- @pnpm//:pnpm --dir $PWD install --lockfile-only

However, on Windows, with rules_js 1.42.1 set up in MODULES.bazel with copy-and-paste from releases page, this command fails:

D:\udu\units\cb_0508_bazel>bazel run -- @pnpm//:pnpm --dir $PWD install --lockfile-only
WARNING: Target pattern parsing failed.
ERROR: Skipping '@pnpm//:pnpm': No repository visible as '@pnpm' from main repository
ERROR: No repository visible as '@pnpm' from main repository

You need to have a use_repo call to make it visible, like https://github.com/aspect-build/rules_js/blob/main/MODULE.bazel#L42

I'll update the release snippet we publish for MODULE.bazel since it ought to be in there

Excellent, this works well. Thank you!
