Certain tools, e.g. compilers, are customarily prefixed with the name of
their target platform so that multiple builds can be used at once
without clobbering each other on the PATH. I was using identifiers named
`prefix` for this purpose, but that conflicts with the standard use of
`prefix` to mean the directory where something is installed. To avoid
conflict and confusion, I renamed those to `targetPrefix`.

Since [1] libbfd is compiled with support for all available targets. However, it
can not choose whether an ARM ELF file is elf32-littlearm,
elf32-littlearm-symbian, or elf32-littlearm-vxworks, and fails with the "File
format is ambiguous" error. Here [2] Alan Modra intended to prioritize the
first of the three, but although his patch was merged and reportedly solved the
issue, currently glibc 2.28.1 and 2.29.1 again fail to disambiguate these
targets. This commit makes it prioritize elf32-littlearm over the other two.

There are separate derivations for these libraries and we don't want
conflict. Multitarget is generally more useful, and will eventually
speed up cross builds, so why not?!
On most distros, these are just built and distributed as part of
binutils. We don't use binutils across the board, however, but rather
switch between binutils and a cctools-binutils mashup, and change the
outputs on binutils too. This creates a combinatorial conditional soup
which is hard to maintain.
My hope is to lower the the state space. While my patch isn't the most
maintainable, they make downstream packages become more maintainable to
compensate. The additional derivations themselves are completely
platform-agnostic, always they always supports all possible target
platforms, and always yield "out" and "dev" outputs. That, in turn,
allows downstream packages to not worry about a dependency
shape-shifting under them.
In fact, the actual binutils package can avoid needing multiple outputs
now that these serve the requisite libraries, so that also can become
simpler on all platforms, too, removing the original wart this PR
circumnavigates for now. Actually changing the binutils package to
leverage is a mass rebuild, however, so I'll leave that for a separate
PR.
I do hope to upstream something like my patch too, but until then I'll
make myself maintainer of these derivations
The biggest benefit is that we no longer have to update the registry
package. This means that just about any cargo package can be built by
nix. No longer does `cargo update` need to be feared because it will
update to packages newer then what is available in nixpkgs.
Instead of fetching the cargo registry this bundles all the source code
into a "vendor/" folder.
This also uses the new --frozen and --locked flags which is nice.
Currently cargo-vendor only provides binaries for Linux and
macOS 64-bit. This can be solved by building it for the other
architectures and uploading it somewhere (like the NixOS cache).
This also has the downside that it requires a change to everyone's deps
hash. And if the old one is used because it was cached it will fail to
build as it will attempt to use the old version. For this reason the
attribute has been renamed to `cargoSha256`.

This reverts commit 0a944b345e, reversing
changes made to 61733ed6cc.
I dislike these massive stdenv changes with unclear motivation,
especially when they involve gratuitous mass renames like NIX_CC ->
NIX_BINUTILS. The previous such rename (NIX_GCC -> NIX_CC) caused
months of pain, so let's not do that again.
This reverts commit bd0d64730a.
Setting GTAGSCONF is not an adequate solution as it prevents the use of
it and the way it was done also breaks gtags when it is called by
global.

This is needed for build != host == target builds. Moreoever, we want
to move towards always passing all 3, and the previous change to
unbreak Arm moved us away from that.
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit

This setup hook is propagated by gdb. Thus, a typical use is:
$ nix-shell -p gdb nix nix.debug sqlite.debug ...
and gdb will be able find the debug symbols of nix etc. automatically.
The main changes are in libSystem, which lost the coretls component in 10.13
and some hardening changes that quietly crash any program that uses %n in
a non-constant format string, so we've needed to patch a lot of programs that
use gnulib.
