Matthew Bauer d0677e6d45 treewide: add warning comment to “boot” packages
This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads:

  Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot
  use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that
  are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files.

This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this
package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use
fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale
hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing
overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at
the bottom).

longDescription = ''
GNU M4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro
processor. It is mostly SVR4 compatible although it has some
extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional
parameters to macros). GNU M4 also has built-in functions for
including files, running shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc.
GNU M4 is a macro processor in the sense that it copies its
input to the output expanding macros as it goes. Macros are
either builtin or user-defined and can take any number of
arguments. Besides just doing macro expansion, m4 has builtin
functions for including named files, running UNIX commands,
doing integer arithmetic, manipulating text in various ways,
recursion etc... m4 can be used either as a front-end to a
compiler or as a macro processor in its own right.
