Since `--experimental_rule_extension_api` was flipped to true in Bazel 8 (80d8e42), `initializer`, `parent` and `subrules` of `rule()` as well as `subrules` of `aspect()` are no longer restricted to an allowlist and rulesets such as rules_java rely on them. This also covers `extendable`, `ctx.super()` and the `Subrule` type, which belong to the same APIs. The `propagation_predicate` parameter of `aspect()` and passing functions to its `attr_aspects` and `toolchains_aspects` parameters aren't gated by any flag or allowlist either.

…ect APIs (bazelbuild#32184) (bazelbuild#32360) ### Description Drops the "Experimental" label from the documentation of: * the rule extension APIs: `initializer`, `parent`, `extendable` and `subrules` of `rule()`, `subrules` of `aspect()`, `ctx.super()` and the `Subrule` type * the aspect propagation APIs: `propagation_predicate` of `aspect()` and passing functions to its `attr_aspects` and `toolchains_aspects` parameters Also fixes a few typos in the touched doc strings. ### Motivation The rule extension APIs are only allowlist-restricted when `--experimental_rule_extension_api` is false. That flag has defaulted to true in Bazel since 80d8e42 (Bazel 8). The aspect propagation APIs aren't gated by any flag or allowlist. The docs shouldn't present any of them as experimental anymore. ### Build API Changes No ### Checklist - [ ] I have added tests for the new use cases (if any). - [x] I have updated the documentation (if applicable). ### Release Notes RELNOTES: None Closes bazelbuild#32184 COPYBARA_INTEGRATE_REVIEW=bazelbuild#32184 from fmeum:ccr-1b457606-ibddgj 4eab7b5 PiperOrigin-RevId: 1012630346 Change-Id: I7248842cbb465408a9b88805512ee381ce83867f Commit bazelbuild@7caeb78 Co-authored-by: Fabian Meumertzheim <fabian@buildbuddy.io>
