e12f4db556 treewide: Fix unsafe concatenation of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, round 2
Naive concatenation of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH can result in an empty
colon-delimited segment; this tells glibc to load libraries from the
current directory, which is definitely wrong, and may be a security
vulnerability if the current directory is untrusted.  (See , for
example.)  Fix this throughout the tree.

Followup to .  Fixes .

doc: prepare for commonmark
We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly.

Notably:
- Line breaks in lists behave differently.
- Admonitions do not support the simpler syntax https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs/issues/75
- The auto_identifiers uses a different algorithm – I made the previous ones explicit.
- Languages (classes) of code blocks cannot contain whitespace so we have to use “pycon” alias instead of Python “console” as GitHub’s linguist

While at it, I also fixed the following issues:
- ShellSesssion was used
- Removed some pointless docbook tags.

b0c1583a0b doc: stdenv.lib -> lib
Part of: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/108938

Changing the documentation to not refer to stdenv.lib is the first
step to make people use it directly.

tree-wide: do not use pkgs.extend in nixpkgs
Each invocation of pkgs.extends adds 130MB of allocation to the hydra
evaluator. We are already struggling with the amount of memory nixpkgs
requires.

`pkgs.extend` is a useful escape-hatch, but should be not be used inside
of nixpkgs directly.

licenses: Make single-version-only GPL explicit
I commonly see people use the former when they should use the latter.
