This effectively resets the attributes given at the point the main
<nixpkgs> is imported and thus for example is also reading in stuff like
~/.nixpkgs/config.nix again, which might lead to unexpected results.
We now only import <nixpkgs> now if the updater is auto-called (like in
update.sh), otherwise the required attributes are passed by callPackage
within the Chromium scope.
I remember noting about this a while ago either on IRC or on GitHub, but
I can't find it right now, so thanks to @obadz for reminding me about
this in #15225.
Tested this by running the updater and also using:
NIXPKGS_CONFIG=$(pwd)/broken.nix nix-instantiate --arg config {} -A chromium
The contents of broken.nix were:

Fixes: #15225
This addresses #12794 so that we now have only a single tarball where we
base our build on instead of splitting the source into different outputs
first and then reference the outputs.
The reason I did this in the first place is that we previously built the
sandbox as a different derivation and unpacking the whole source tree
just for building the sandbox was a bit too much.
As we now have namespaces sandbox built in by default we no longer have
that derivation anymore. It still might come up however if we want to
build NaCl as a separate derivation (see #8560), but splitting the
source code into things only NaCl might require is already too much work
and doesn't weight out the benefits.
Another issue with the source splitup is that Hydra now has an output
limit for non-fixed-output derivations which we're already hitting.
Tested the build against the stable channel and it went well, but I
haven't tested running the browser.

We always do something like "fetchurl channelProduct", so let's move it
to getChannel directly so we can avoid those fetchurl calls all over the
place.
Also, we can still access subattributes from the fetchurl call if we
need to, so there really is no need to expose the product's attributes
directly.

We now should have only the default.nix left in the source directory and
we can start to factor out the pieces into the Chromium main derivation
attributes.
