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.

/* This function composes the Nix Packages collection. It:
|
|
|
|
1. Applies the final stage to the given `config` if it is a function
|
|
|
|
2. Infers an appropriate `platform` based on the `system` if none is
|
|
provided
|
|
|
|
3. Defaults to no non-standard config and no cross-compilation target
|
|
|
|
4. Uses the above to infer the default standard environment's (stdenv's)
|
|
stages if no stdenv's are provided
|
|
|
|
5. Folds the stages to yield the final fully booted package set for the
|
|
chosen stdenv
|
|
|
|
Use `impure.nix` to also infer the `system` based on the one on which
|
|
evaluation is taking place, and the configuration from environment variables

or dot-files. */
