Turns out markers are non-deterministic after all and even our patching still
doesn't solve this problem completely. For example (tensorflow deps, this is a
complete diff so actual dependencies don't differ):

Instead of trying to patch these markers further we now completely clear them.
Nix hacks for ignoring markers are restored and expanded so that we don't even
attempt to parse the marker.
See #64258 for more details and some discussion.
Fix #22729.
tl;dr: This fixes the behaviour at run-time but uses "n/a" defaults
inside the Nix build sandbox (build-time).
There might still be a few minor regressions, we might have to tweak
the behaviour over time (e.g. the implementation from Debian also
differs from the original version), and we could refactor the script,
but it should work well enough for now.
This is a refactoring of "tdesktop", i.e. the resulting derivation isn't
affected by this commit (only the tdesktopPackages.* attributes are
removed).
I decided to remove the attributes "tdesktopPackages.*" as I don't
maintain the preview version anymore. There are regular stable releases
and we depend on the patches from Arch Linux which only track the stable
version as well, i.e. I would have to maintain our own patches, which
would either require an additional repository or "bloat" Nixpkgs (apart
from the fact that it would be unnecessarily time-consuming).
