Remove direct dependency on rules_apple

This was only used for 2 apple_binary targets that we can replace with
cc_binary. There is a difference here that previously these binary
targets would transitively set the macOS version being targeted via a
transition, this is no longer the case and now that setting is inherited
from the including project's config instead. If unset it uses the host
OS version which isn't ideal.
