elm: 0.18 -> 0.19

update makeElmStuff to makeDotElm, create elm-elm.nix listing the elm
code that elm itself embeds, and pre-fetch it so that the elm build
can function offline.  also include a versions.dat file, as created
during an impure build of elm.  set ELM_HOME so that the elm build can
find these things.

continues #45448

+# the elm binary embeds a piece of pre-compiled elm code, used by 'elm

+# package.elm-lang.org, as well as a cached bit of metadata

+# the makeDotElm function lets us retrieve these dependencies in the
+# standard nix way. we have to copy them in (rather than symlink) and
+# make them writable because the elm compiler writes other .dat files
+# alongside the source code. versions.dat was produced during an
+# impure build of this same code; the build complains that it can't
+# update this cache, but continues past that warning.

+# finally, we set ELM_HOME to point to these pre-fetched artifacts so
+# that the default of ~/.elm isn't used.
