Linux 4.16 introduces a stackprotector detection script that returns
different results for the kernel compilation run and the spl/zfs
compilation run, as the setting for hardening are different. This
results in a broken ABI between spl/zfs and the compiled kernel,
breaking ZFS. Also disabling the fortify and stackprotector hardening,
as we do for the kernel, fixes that.
Remove spl patch that was introduced for grsecurity which we don't support
anymore. ZFS now needs perl for some scripts that are call in the configure
script.

This patch introduces kernel.moduleBuildDependencies to avoid the logic "stdenv.lib.optional (stdenv.lib.versionAtLeast kernel.version "4.14") libelf" in multiple places.
[dezgeg did some minor tweaks on top]
Until now nixos only delivered the latest zfs release. This release is often not
compatible with the latest mainline kernel. Therefor an unstable variant is
added, which might be based on testing releases or git revisions.
