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 is a bit dubvious, but the alternative of making nodejs a
nativeBuildInput for node packages is worse. In general the cross story
for interpreted languages is murky, and this fits that pattern.
The compilers themselves can pull them from `bootPkgs`, where they
should always come from anyways. This enforces that, simplifies that
code, and allows use to avoid more `rec { ... }` too.
enableShared in generic-builder.nix should default to what the GHC
compiler was compiled with. Add a passthru to all of the GHC compilers
to hold the value of enableShared. If enableShared is not set in the
GHC we just use false as the default value for enableSharedLibraries.
Note: I may have missed some compilers. Only GHC & GHCJS are covered
by this commit but this shouldn’t break evaluation of anything else.
This is needed for some cabal2nix stuff in getting the version.
Previously we had left out the version but apparently this can cause
problems in some scenarios.
