We can use use `stdenv.hostPlatform.isStatic` instead, and move the
logic per package. The least opionated benefit of this is that it makes
it much easier to replace packages with modified ones, as there is no
longer any issue of overlay order.

bzip2 has been unmaintained for a long time. For a while now, there has
been maintainership, resulting in the release of 1.0.8. At the same
time, there is now a master branch (version 1.1.x) which supports meson
and cmake as build systems.
This commit adds the current HEAD of the master branch (1.1.x). In the
future we may want to use this one instead of the older and patched
1.0.6 we currently have.

This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads:
Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot
use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that
are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files.
This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this
package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use
fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale
hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing
overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at
the bottom).
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
In line with the Nixpkgs manual.
A mechanical change, done with this command:
find pkgs -name "*.nix" | \
while read f; do \
sed -e 's/description\s*=\s*"\([a-z]\)/description = "\u\1/' -i "$f"; \
done
I manually skipped some:
* Descriptions starting with an abbreviation, a user name or package name
* Frequently generated expressions (haskell-packages.nix)
The cross-compiling the "patchPhase" from the parent attribute set was
preventing application of patches specified in the crossDrv. Fix by
turning patchPhase into postPatch.
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
Everything the builder.sh did can be done with the generic builder which
makes it easier to override attributes and also easier to read.
The reason I've done this is because of #10820, which tries to override
the preBuild hook, but the latter is hardcoded in the builder.sh of
bzip2.
I have compared the output of this against the previous version and the
only things that were different were timestamps in libbz2.a.

This comes from:
svn diff ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.
trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.
svn path=/nixpkgs/stdenv-updates2/; revision=18272
