After effa9e4045, which switched to Meson,
the Vala bindings were not built which broke Shotwell. Enabling Vala
was not enough due to a bug, though, so we have to patch it.
Provides an app to view battery and power statistics. This app is badly
documented on the web, but is in the default Fedora install; hence to
motivation to add it to Nix.
Otherwise the build fails to detect libusb and doesn't build
the 'xpwn' and 'dfu-util' tools.
New tools run but I don't have any suitable devices to test :).
(I believe latest iGadgets need a newer version of xpwn anyway)
Since firefox 58.0.1 the google api key is now stored at an absolute
path ($TMPDIR/ga). Since variable expansion in `configureFlags` does not
really work (as expected) the build started failing when using the
legacy firefox build system. With the newer `./mach` based builds
firefox reads the configure flags from `.mozconfig` instead.
This commit moves the `with-google-api-keyfile=` setting into the
`preConfigure` phase where we can properly expand `$TMPDIR` into
whatever the path is.

have permission to use the official firefox branding.
