The only big change is required for darwin since GHC 8.10.5 now
runs xattr in the install phase on darwin:
* 11e1dcde0d
* ec451cac39
Unfortunately, it uses the host /usr/bin/xattr by default which is
present in the build due to a lack of sandboxing on darwin. That xattr
version however still requires Python 2.7 whereas Python 3.8 is in PATH
in our build. We solve this by setting the XATTR environment variable.
We can't use python3Packages.xattr since GHC expects Apple's fork of
xattr which provides some extra flags to utilize.

In preparation of the upcoming 0.6.0 release I wanted to fix hls.
It introduces two new plugin packages, which are not on hackage yet.
I remove apply-refact overrides, because current apply-refact versions
are compatible with all ghcs we support, according to their changelog.
I override more of the hls dependencies globally on the whole package
set, to avoid a lot of duplicate compilations. And because @peti changed
my mind about this being a good practice.
hls now uses a released version of ghcide
While we are at it I:
* Disable tests, because I can‘t keep up with the speed hls introduces
more tests that cause trouble in nixpkgs.
* Fix builds of fourmolu and retrie
* Remove the wrapper for hls which is obsolete because of improved
package detection in hie-bios. And added a note that this can be removed
for ghcide soon, too.
The build in nixpkgs was broken for forever. Trying to fix it would be
painful, as leksah uses a lot of overrides and custom versions. In
addition, leksah works best with the GHC version matching your project,
which means we'd have to make sure it builds for each of our GHC
versions.
Whenever we create scripts that are installed to $out, we must use runtimeShell
in order to get the shell that can be executed on the machine we create the
package for. This is relevant for cross-compiling. The only use case for
stdenv.shell are scripts that are executed as part of the build system.
Usages in checkPhase are borderline however to decrease the likelyhood
of people copying the wrong examples, I decided to use runtimeShell as well.
