stdenv: Introduce hasCC attribute Before, we'd always use `cc = null`, and check for that. The problem is this breaks for cross compilation to platforms that don't support a C compiler. It's a very subtle issue. One might think there is no problem because we have `stdenvNoCC`, and presumably one would only build derivations that use that. The problem is that one still wants to use tools at build-time that are themselves built with a C compiler, and those are gotten via "splicing". The runtime version of those deps will explode, but the build time / `buildPackages` versions of those deps will be fine, and splicing attempts to work this by using `builtins.tryEval` to filter out any broken "higher priority" packages (runtime is the default and highest priority) so that both `foo` and `foo.nativeDrv` works. However, `tryEval` only catches certain evaluation failures (e.g. exceptions), and not arbitrary failures (such as `cc.attr` when `cc` is null). This means `tryEval` fails to let us use our build time deps, and everything comes apart. The right solution is, as usually, to get rid of splicing. Or, baring that, to make it so `foo` never works and one has to explicitly do `foo.*`. But that is a much larger change, and certaily one unsuitable to be backported to stable. Given that, we instead make an exception-throwing `cc` attribute, and create a `hasCC` attribute for those derivations which wish to condtionally use a C compiler: instead of doing `stdenv.cc or null == null` or something similar, one does `stdenv.hasCC`. This allows quering without "tripping" the exception, while also allowing `tryEval` to work. No platform without a C compiler is yet wired up by default. That will be done in a following commit.

## Platform parameters
##
## The "build" "host" "target" terminology below comes from GNU Autotools. See
## its documentation for more information on what those words mean. Note that
## each should always be defined, even when not cross compiling.
##
## For purposes of bootstrapping, think of each stage as a "sliding window"
## over a list of platforms. Specifically, the host platform of the previous
## stage becomes the build platform of the current one, and likewise the
## target platform of the previous stage becomes the host platform of the
## current one.
##
, # The platform on which packages are built. Consists of `system`, a
# string (e.g.,`i686-linux') identifying the most import attributes of the
# build platform, and `platform` a set of other details.
buildPlatform
, # The platform on which packages run.
hostPlatform
, # The platform which build tools (especially compilers) build for in this stage,
