Add CurrentRepository() to Python runfiles library

`runfiles.CurrentRepository()` can be used to get the canonical name of
the Bazel repository containing the caller at runtime. This information
is required to look up runfiles while taking repository mappings into
account.

Work towards bazelbuild#16124

Closes bazelbuild#16341.
