Listing available 'Make' Variables in Genrule?
To actually answer your question, I searched for "TemplateVariableInfo" in the rules_foreign_cc project (since TemplateVariableInfo is the provider that declares template variables), and there's only one location: toolchains/toolchains.bzl. Reading this, the `toolchains.data.env` variable that's set is coming after a call to `expand_locations_and_make_variables` (from foreign_cc/private/framework.bzl), so without running a debugger I have no idea what's there. It's possible that the rules themselves are confused about this.

What's New in Bazel 6.0
The main change here is that Bazel now has a package repository that people can pull/push external dependencies to: https://registry.bazel.build/
This is a huge change as external dependencies used to be one of the big pain points with the Bazel pipeline.

Using Bazel and Conan for external dependencies
I'm very new to Bazel and as far as I understand the new bzlmod feature and its central registry will eventually make it very easy to depend on any external project, and most importantly, it will handle versions properly.
