coreutils: split a coreutils-full version 
- default coreutils is stripped of /share/ (11 -> 2 MiB)
- coreutils-full retains /share/ and adds openssl for faster *sum tools
- NixOS systemPackages contains coreutils-full
- *Support parameter defaults are moved inside
  (it seemed confusing to have `? false` and "at once" with `? isLinux`)

Closure considerations:
+ typical build-time closure will get lighter by ~9 MiB
- typical closure of NixOS installation will grow by ~2 MiB,
  due to referring to both versions.  I think it would be possible to
  re-use most of the utils between the two versions, but the expression
  would get much more complex.

I considered having stdenv with minimal coreutils and the default
`coreutils` attribute being full, but it turned out there were too many
trivial references in nixpkgs, so it didn't seem easy to keep rebuild
impact of openssl from growing significantly.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
