Move common attributes treated by both buildGoModule and buildGoPackage
to a separate section, out of the examples' "callouts".

This hook moves systemd user service file from `lib/systemd/user` to
`share/systemd/user`. This is to allow systemd to find the user
services when installed into a user profile. The `lib/systemd/user`
path does not work since `lib` is not in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`.
Pull #89453 introduced a bug in the documentation that is preventing the
hydra build for nixpkgs-unstable from finishing. I have added the
additional option indroduced in that patch (runVend for go modules) and
added the callout tag so that the documenation can build again.
In #89806 it has been reported that the final package is missing a lot
of features like support for the self-service GUI and the
config-management.
While working on supporting those components in the Nix-package, I
decided to refactor the package to simplify the entire setup.
This patch changes the following things:
* Binaries and libraries are patched using the `autoPatchelfHook` to
avoid having unneeded libraries linked (e.g. some programs use gtk2,
others use gtk3).
* Moved source-declarations into their own file.
* Wrapped `configmgr` and `selfservice` and added those to `$out/bin`.
* Don't mention the old `citrix_receiver`-packages in the manual anymore
since those packages were removed in 19.09 and are EOLed anyways.
Closes#89806
/build/doc/manual-full.xml:12764:35: error: ID "build-phase" has already been defined

We no longer need it for most use cases so I am making it experimental.
I have something in mind where it might be useful in the future (customizing commit messages)
but for now, it would only confuse people.
Instead of having the updateScript support returning JSON object,
it should be sufficient to specify attrPath in passthru.updateScript.
It is much easier to use.
The former is now considered experimental.
Update scripts can now declare features using
passthru.updateScript = {
command = [ ../../update.sh pname ];
supportedFeatures = [ "commit" ];
};
A `commit` feature means that when the update script finishes successfully,
it will print a JSON list like the following:
[
{
"attrPath": "volume_key",
"oldVersion": "0.3.11",
"newVersion": "0.3.12",
"files": [
"/path/to/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/volume-key/default.nix"
]
}
]
and data from that will be used when update.nix is run with --argstr commit true
to create commits.
We will create a new git worktree for each thread in the pool and run the update
script there. Then we will commit the change and cherry pick it in the main repo,
releasing the worktree for a next change.
This adds the `validatePkgConfig` hook, which can be used to validate
pkg-config files in the output(s). Currently, this will just run
`pkg-config --validate` on all `.pc` files, capturing errors such as
the issue that was fixed in #87789.
The hook could be extended in the future with more fine-grained
checks.
Based on some feedback in #87094 and discussion with @fridh, this re-organizes
the onboarding tutorial in the Nixpkgs manual's python section, so that we start
with the simplest, most ad-hoc examples and work our way up. This progresses
from:
1. How to create an temporary python env at the cmdline, then
2. How to create a specific python env for a single script, then
3. How to create a specific python env for a project in a shell.nix, then
4. How to install a specific python env globally on the system or in a user profile.
Additionally, I've tried to standardize on some of the "best practice" ways of
doing things:
1. Instead of saying that this command style is "supported but strongly not
discouraged", I've just deleted it to avoid confusion.
Bad: nix-shell -p python38Packages.numpy python38Packages.toolz
Good: nix-shell -p 'python38.withPackages(ps: with ps; [ numpy toolz ])'
2. In the portion where we show how to add stuff to the user's
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, use overlays instead of `config.nix`. The former can do
everything the latter can do, but is also much more generic and powerful,
because it can compose with other files, compose with other envs, compose
with overlays that do things like swap whether tensorflow and pytorch are
built openblas/mkl/cuda stacks, and so on. The user is eventually going to
see the overlay, so to avoid confusion let's standardize on it.
An overlay by any other name would function just as well, but we generally use
`self: super:` for the regular overlays, and `python-self: python-super`.
