The documentation currently refers to BUILD files with only a small side note that the may be called BUILD.bazel, namely where packages are defined.
Instead, add a more prominent note to the page explaining BUILD files and clarify there that both namings are valid, that BUILD.bazel takes precendence, and that the documentation will talk just about BUILD files for simplicity's sake. Additionally, link to that page from the package definition section.

Progress on #4517

The documentation currently refers to `BUILD` files with only
a small side note that the may be called `BUILD.bazel`, namely

Instead, add a more prominent note to the page explaining `BUILD`
files and clarify there that both namings are valid, that
`BUILD.bazel` takes precendence, and that the documentation
will talk just about `BUILD` files for simplicity's sake.
Additionally, link to that page from the package definition section.
