local_crate_repository: mark non-reproducible

`local_crate_repository` symlinks files from the main workspace into
its external repo. Bazel >= 9.0.1 replants those symlinks as relative
`..\_main\...` paths when placing reproducible repos in the contents
cache. On Windows the replanted paths dangle from the action execroot
(no `execroot/_main/external/_main`), so actions fail to read the
crate sources.

Mark these repos non-reproducible unconditionally so the original
absolute symlinks survive on every platform. The tradeoff is loss of
remote-repo-contents-cache eligibility; the only per-invocation work
that re-runs on a cold output_base is the toml2json parse and
BUILD.bazel generation, which is negligible.

See bazelbuild/bazel#29515.
