pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix: prefer makeOverridable over getConfig to customize libc version

Browse Source 
Previously, the getConfig variable 'brokenRedHatKernel' was used to switch back
to glibc 2.5, which fixes various run-time problems on Red Hat Linux. Now, the
same can be achieved by configuring

  {
    packageOverrides = pkgs:
    {
      glibc = pkgs.useFromStdenv "glibc" pkgs.glibc25;
    };
  }

in $NIXPKGS_CONFIG. Similarly, the argument 'installLocales' can be overridden
by setting:

  {
    packageOverrides = pkgs:
    {
      glibc = pkgs.useFromStdenv "glibc" (pkgs.glibc25.override { installLocales = true; });
    };
  }
