14f66d60a7 Make the bootsrap respect the contentAddressedByDefault setting
Patch every `derivation` call in the bootsrap process to add it a
conditional `__contentAddressed` parameter.

That way, passing `contentAddressedByDefault` means that the entire
build closure of a system can be content addressed

62ec3db017 stdenv/freebsd/cc: make overrideable fixing nixpkgs eval
stdenv.cc didn't have an override attribute on FreeBSD previously,
breaking evaluation of all-packages.nix consequently.

Resolves #119075.

stdenv: Improve/fix FreeBSD support
Able to bootstrap stdenv on FreeBSD by compiling various dependencies
using built-in FreeBSD tools so mostly works now

Closes: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/81459

a3a6ad7a01 stdenv: implement crossOverlays
crossOverlays only apply to the packages being built, not the build
packages. It is useful when you don’t care what is used to build your
packages, just what is being built. The idea relies heavily on the
cross compiling infrastructure. Using this implies that we need to
create a cross stdenv.

d349f9a340 cc-wrapper: Use stdenvNoCC to build
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.

92edcb7ebb top-level: Lay the groundwork for {build,host,target}Platform
The long term goal is a big replace:
  { inherit system platform; } => buildPlatform
  crossSystem => hostPlatform
  stdenv.cross => targetPlatform
And additionally making sure each is defined even when not cross compiling.

This commit refactors the bootstrapping code along that vision, but leaves
the old identifiers with their null semantics in place so packages can be
modernized incrementally.

f5dfe78a1e Add overlays mechanism to Nixpkgs.
This patch add a new argument to Nixpkgs default expression named "overlays".

By default, the value of the argument is either taken from the environment variable `NIXPKGS_OVERLAYS`,
or from the directory `~/.nixpkgs/overlays/`.  If the environment variable does not name a valid directory
then this mechanism would fallback on the home directory.  If the home directory does not exists it will
fallback on an empty list of overlays.

The overlays directory should contain the list of extra Nixpkgs stages which would be used to extend the
content of Nixpkgs, with additional set of packages.  The overlays, i-e directory, files, symbolic links
are used in alphabetical order.

The simplest overlay which extends Nixpkgs with nothing looks like:

```nix
self: super: {
}
```

More refined overlays can use `super` as the basis for building new packages, and `self` as a way to query
the final result of the fix-point.

An example of overlay which extends Nixpkgs with a small set of packages can be found at:
  https://github.com/nbp/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/nixpkgs-overlay/moz-overlay.nix

To use this file, checkout the repository and add a symbolic link to
the `moz-overlay.nix` file in `~/.nixpkgs/overlays` directory.

3e197f7d81 top-level: Normalize stdenv booting
Introduce new abstraction, `stdenv/booter.nix` for composing bootstraping
stages, and use it everywhere for consistency. See that file for more doc.

Stdenvs besides Linux and Darwin are completely refactored to utilize this.
Those two, due to their size and complexity, are minimally edited for
easier reviewing.

No hashes should be changed.

4751d9e5ad top-level: turn the screw
- Non-cross stdenvs are honest and assert that `crossSystem` is null

 - `crossSystem` is a mandatory argument to top-level/stage.nix, just like
   `system` and `platform`

 - Broken default arguments on stdenvs for testing are gone.

 - All stdenvs (but little-used stdenvNix) take the same arguments for easy
   testing.

d240a0da1a top-level: Remove cycles: stdenv calls in top-level but not vice versa
This commit changes the dependencies of stdenv, and clean-up the stdenv
story by removing the `defaultStdenv` attribute as well as the `bootStdenv`
parameter.

Before, the final bootstrapping stage's stdenv was provided by
all-packages, which was iterating multiple times over the
top-level/default.nix expression, and non-final bootstrapping stages'
stdenvs were explicitly specified with the `bootStdenv` parameter.

Now, all stages' stdenvs are specified with the `stdenv` parameter.
For non-final bootstrapping stages, this is a small change---basically just
rename the parameter.
For the final stage, top-level/default.nix takes the chosen stdenv and
makes the final stage with it.

`allPackages` is used to make all bootstrapping stages, final and
non-final alike. It's basically the expression of `stage.nix` (along with a
few partially-applied default arguments)

Note, the make-bootstrap-tools scripts are temporarily broken

e21b6b6ee5 * curl: build with OpenSSL (https) support by default.
* Some fetchurl-related refactoring.  The `realCurl' attribute is
  gone, `curl' is the real thing.  To prevent an infinite recursion in
  `fetchurl' (because it depends on curl and building curl needs
  fetchurl), curl and its dependencies (openssl, zlib, perl) use
  `fetchurlBoot', which is the fetchurl used by the previous bootstrap
  phase (e.g. the statically linked version of curl for
  stdenv-linux).  So as a result you can use https:// urls almost
  everywhere.

  There's also some hackery to prevent a different curl from being
  built in every stdenv-linux bootstrap phase (namely the
  stdenv.fetchurl attribute which allows fetchurl to be overriden
  everywhere).
