Matthew Bauer d0677e6d45 treewide: add warning comment to “boot” packages
This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads:

  Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot
  use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that
  are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files.

This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this
package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use
fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale
hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing
overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at
the bottom).

description = "Unicode string library";
longDescription = ''
This library provides functions for manipulating Unicode strings
and for manipulating C strings according to the Unicode
standard.
GNU libunistring is for you if your application involves
non-trivial text processing, such as upper/lower case
conversions, line breaking, operations on words, or more
advanced analysis of text. Text provided by the user can, in
general, contain characters of all kinds of scripts. The text
processing functions provided by this library handle all scripts
and all languages.
libunistring is for you if your application already uses the ISO
C / POSIX <ctype.h>, <wctype.h> functions and the text it
operates on is provided by the user and can be in any language.
libunistring is also for you if your application uses Unicode
strings as internal in-memory representation.
