racer builds fine on Linux and macOS without racer as a dependency.
racer does not actually use rustup, but 'rustc --print sysroot', which
is already available through the rustc dependency.
The easy part is to add NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE for "regular" libraries.
A bit more tricky is to add the required flags for libclang to find
libstdcxx. For this we parse arguments to bindgen to look for
-x c++ or -xc++ and if found add NIX_CXXSTDLIB_COMPILE to the arguments.
This variable is populated by a complex dance of setupHooks. We trigger
this by adding clang to propagatedBuildInputs. A more subtle way may
exist.

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`.

* 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.

Instead, discover it automatically when building the package.
This makes `buildRustPackage` more future-proof with respect to changes
in how `cargo` generates the hash.
Also, it fixes broken builds in i686 because apparently, cargo generates
a different registry index hash in this architecture (compared to
x86-64).
This makes buildRustPackage portable to non-Linux platforms.
Additionally, now we also save the `Cargo.lock` file into the fetch output, so
that we don't have to run $cargoUpdateHook again just before building.
I was asked to add this for backwards comparability when I renamed `rust`
to `rustc` and added `rustcMaster`. It has been a few months so I'd hope
deprecating this is acceptable.
