This is a refactoring of "tdesktop", i.e. the resulting derivation isn't
affected by this commit (only the tdesktopPackages.* attributes are
removed).
I decided to remove the attributes "tdesktopPackages.*" as I don't
maintain the preview version anymore. There are regular stable releases
and we depend on the patches from Arch Linux which only track the stable
version as well, i.e. I would have to maintain our own patches, which
would either require an additional repository or "bloat" Nixpkgs (apart
from the fact that it would be unnecessarily time-consuming).
GCC 8.x is required to avoid the following error:
cc1plus: error: -Werror=class-memaccess: no option -Wclass-memaccess
If we build without "-Wno-error=class-memaccess" the build should fail
and the upstream requirements were raised from GCC 7 to GCC 8 anyway:
b2f821d3de
The two additional patches are required to avoid build errors like this:

error: invalid use of incomplete type 'class QDebug'

TODO: We're still using the old API ID (like the Arch package) which
should be used for testing only.
I've tried to contact the Telegram team multiple times via different
channels but didn't get a response so far. See [0],[1] for more details.

Without the patch the build will fail with the following error:

Note: I'm not packaging this as stable for now as there might be some
issues left (see GitHub), it says "Version 1.3 alpha" in the bottom left
corner, and I've only got a "New in version 1.2.25" message.
