**What type of PR is this?** > Bug fix **What package or component does this PR mostly affect?** `go_repository_tools` **What does this PR do? Why is it needed?** Adds `-buildvcs=false` to the command line when building `gazelle` and other binaries for use within `go_repository`. Leaving VCS stamping enabled may cause problems if a VCS tool is misconfigured. We don't really need VCS stamping. **Which issues(s) does this PR fix?** Fixes #2323 **Other notes for review**
