document how to update bats

[jalkjaer]

Is there a better way to upgrade the bats-* dependencies than patching the the MODULE.bazel file?
This doesn't seem to pull the newer version

bazel_dep(name = "bazel_bats", version = "0.37.0")
bazel_bats = use_extension("@bazel_bats//:extensions.bzl", "bazel_bats_deps")
bazel_bats.bats_core(
    sha256 = "c590e619313f3227c06541b00deb6074680b8922",
    version = "1.12.0",
)
use_repo(bazel_bats, "bats_core")

So I'm currently doing a single_version_override with this patch

which is a bit clunky

There currently isn't a way to do this, but there probably should be a way. In the meantime, can you convert your change into a PR, and we can work from there?
