For a while now, the only thing the 'uboot' attribute does is to tell
whether to add ubootTools to kernel/initrd builds. That can be
determined with platform.kernelTarget == "uImage" just as well.
The previous one was very bad and worsened the situation.
But even running with some nix-1.12 I'm unable to reproduce
the original failure. Let's unblock channels for now.
Unlike pathsFromGraph, on Nix 1.12, this function produces a
registration file containing correct NAR hash/size information.

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 requires some small changes in the stdenv, then working around the
weird choice LLVM made to hardcode @rpath in its install name, and then
lets us remove a ton of annoying workaround hacks in many of our Go
packages. With any luck this will mean less hackery going forward.
Before this fix, it seemed to be trying to merge our postFetch with the
patch normalization logic, but accidentally clobbering the whole thing
with the passed-in value.
cc-wrapper may wrap a cc-compiler, but it doesn't need one to build
itself. (c.f. expand-response-params is a separate derivation.) This
helps avoid cycles on the cross stuff, in addition to removing a
useless dependency edge.
I could have been super careful with overrides in the stdenv to avoid
the mass rebuild, but I don't think it's worth it.
We were using 'Combined Image JSON + Filesystem Changeset Format' [1] to
unpack and pack image and this patch switches to the format used by the registry.
We used the 'repository' file which is not generated by Skopeo when it
pulls an image. Moreover, all information of this file are also in the
manifest.json file.
We then use the manifest.json file instead of 'repository' file. Note
also the manifest.json file is required to push an image with Skopeo.

The database dump doesn't contain sha and size. This leads to invalid
path in the container. We have to fix the database by using
nix-store.
Note a better way to do this is available in Nix 1.12 (since the
database dump contains all required information).
We also add content output paths in the gcroots since they ca be used
by the container.
Currently, the contents closure is copied to the layer but there is no
nix database initialization. If pkgs.nix is added in the contents,
nix-store doesn't work because there is no nix database.
From the contents of the layer, this commit generates and loads the
database in the nix store of the container. This only works if there
is no parent layer that already have a nix store (to support several
nix layers, we would have to merge nix databases of parent layers).
We also add an example to play with the nix store inside the
container. Note it seems `more` is a missing dependency of the nix
package!
1. `crossDrv` is now the default so we don't need to worry about that in
build != host builds.
2. shell is the build time shell, so `wrapCCCross` doesn't need to
worry, as build == host.
3. `shell.shellPath` will always be appended where useful.
4. Complicated `shell == ""` logic served no purpose.
