continuation of #109595
pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
This reverts commit 1c84236afb.
See the explanation in 564653f91d. The
lack of CAML_LD_LIBRARY_PATH causes regressions in dependent downstream
packages that try to use dllzarith.so directly.
This has two main advantages:
- By setting hasSharedObjects = true, buildOcaml will automatically
include a setup-hook.sh that sets CAML_LD_LIBRARY_PATH in dependent
expressions. This is needed to pick up dllzarith.so properly which is
shipped as part of the library.
- We can kill the ugly assert in the expression and instead change it
to use minimumSupportedOcamlVersion.
(Note: this was reverted in b44d5136e8, but the change is
exactly equivalent -- I wasn't sure what impact zarith might actually
have without checking OfBorg, which I wanted to do first.)

In line with the Nixpkgs manual.
A mechanical change, done with this command:
find pkgs -name "*.nix" | \
while read f; do \
sed -e 's/description\s*=\s*"\([a-z]\)/description = "\u\1/' -i "$f"; \
done
I manually skipped some:
* Descriptions starting with an abbreviation, a user name or package name
* Frequently generated expressions (haskell-packages.nix)
