Matthew Bauer d0677e6d45 treewide: add warning comment to “boot” packages
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).

The GNU Find Utilities are the basic directory searching
utilities of the GNU operating system. These programs are
typically used in conjunction with other programs to provide
modular and powerful directory search and file locating
capabilities to other commands.
The tools supplied with this package are:
* find - search for files in a directory hierarchy;
* locate - list files in databases that match a pattern;
* updatedb - update a file name database;
* xargs - build and execute command lines from standard input.
