Speed up CI (typedb#181)

## What is the goal of this PR?

Cut the time spent on CI jobs by upgrading to latest `@rules_python` and `pip`

## What are the changes implemented in this PR?

Use latest `pip` (both in standalone tests and in Bazel targets) to ensure that `grpcio` native library is not rebuilt from scratch every time but just fetched from PyPI.
