python.buildenv is used to build an env that provides binaries that can
import all modules that were passed in to the env.
Before this change it filtered the propagatedBuildInputs to remove all
non-Python packages, thereby possibly reducing the amount of packages
that were referenced. However, Python packages often don't have non-
Python packages as propagatedBuildInputs. And occasionally, we do want
to be able to add other packages to the env.
It's a long build and generally painful to split into smaller commits,
so I apologize for lumping many changes into one commit but this is far
easier.
There are still several outdated parts of the darwin stdenv but these
changes should bring us closer to the goal.
Fixes #18461
Compiling python with "-Wl,-stack_size,1000000" causes problems when
compiling for example pygobject3. pygobject3 uses "python3.x-config
--ldflags" during installation and then fails when
"-Wl,-stack_size,1000000" is present. Maybe we should investigate
removing this during the build of pyobject3, but this stack_size flag is
also not used on the popular darwin homebrew-core channel for python3.5,
so it seems safe to remove it.
This one was already merged into release-16.09, so let's not have the
stable branch is ahead of master and confuse things. In addition to
that, currently we have an odd situation that master has less things
actually finished building than in staging.

The previous commit revealed that Python wasn't actually using
Berkeley DB; it only had it in its closure due to the build-time flag
dump in Makefile and _sysconfigdata.py. When Python detects both GNU
gdbm and Berkeley DB at build time, it will use the former.
This cuts about 3 MiB from the installed size. On Linux, the configure
script is supposed to detect that installing tzdata is unnecessary,
but it looks in locations like /usr/share/zoneinfo.
This reduces Python's closure size from 200 MiB to 129 MiB. Even
better would be to get move tkinter to a separate output or package
(since that would get rid of all X11 stuff), but that's a bit harder.
This reduces tcl's total size from 25.0 MiB to 8.6 MiB. Admittedly
this is also because putting the manpages in the right place causes
all man3 pages to be deleted by the multiple outputs setup hook. Not
sure if that's desirable behaviour...

This was one of the ways to build packages, we are trying
hard to minimize different ways so it's easier for newcomers
to learn only one way.
This also:
- removes texLive (old), fixes #14807
- removed upstream-updater, if that code is still used it should be in
separate repo
- changes a few packages like gitit/mit-scheme to use new texlive
