This follows on from PR #16965 for qrupdate and PR #16968 for fltk.
WIth these, the added explicit dependencies on arpack (to support
the octave `eigs` function) and `libwebp`, and not pulling X11 things,
octave works properly on darwin.
Minor OTP releases (and their manpages) are not available for dowload at
http://erlang.org/download
But e.g.:
- 18.3.1 contains an important fix for mnesia
- 18.3.1-18.3.4 has a lot of SSL/TLS fixes
So we have to fetch from GitHub and build everything ourselves.
Also replace explicit path patching with upstream patches:
- https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1023
- https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1103 - with this patch it's now
possible to build erlang in sandboxed mode
Some tests fail and cause kernel spam of this sort:

/cc #16477. /cc @domenKozar (don't know who better),
as I still experience test failures of different kind:

In line with the Nixpkgs manual.
A mechanical change, done with this command:
find pkgs -name "*.nix" | \
while read f; do \
sed -e 's/description\s*=\s*"\([a-z]\)/description = "\u\1/' -i "$f"; \
done
I manually skipped some:
* Descriptions starting with an abbreviation, a user name or package name
* Frequently generated expressions (haskell-packages.nix)
