You can solve the problem with building by changing following:
in the file WORKSPACE change the url in line 174 to
urls = ["https://sourceforge.net/projects/arma/files/retired/armadillo-9.900.1.tar.xz"],

The armadillo packaged got moved

That wasn't the problem I encountered during building. Nor does your response directly address this issue.

I want to comment here.

The file at

urls = ["https://sourceforge.net/projects/arma/files/retired/armadillo-9.900.1.tar.xz"]

had been changed to [armadillo-9.900.1.tar.xz.RETIRED].

You can try to download armadillo and load it locally.
You can change the [http_archive] as below

new_local_repository(
name = "armadillo_headers",
path = "/Users/EPIGP/Documents/visqol/third_party/armadillo",
build_file_content = """
cc_library(
name = "armadillo_header",
hdrs = glob(["include/**"]),
includes = ["include"],
visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)
""",
)

''Path'' is where you put your unzipped file. (Remember to remove the top-level directory in the zip file so that the unzipped files are directly in the third_party/armadillo directory)
