The biggest benefit is that we no longer have to update the registry
package. This means that just about any cargo package can be built by
nix. No longer does `cargo update` need to be feared because it will
update to packages newer then what is available in nixpkgs.
Instead of fetching the cargo registry this bundles all the source code
into a "vendor/" folder.
This also uses the new --frozen and --locked flags which is nice.
Currently cargo-vendor only provides binaries for Linux and
macOS 64-bit. This can be solved by building it for the other
architectures and uploading it somewhere (like the NixOS cache).
This also has the downside that it requires a change to everyone's deps
hash. And if the old one is used because it was cached it will fail to
build as it will attempt to use the old version. For this reason the
attribute has been renamed to `cargoSha256`.

* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
This still causes some uncached rebuilds, but master(!) and staging
move too fast forward rebuild-wise, so Hydra might never catch up.
(There are also other occasional problems.)
Therefore I merge at this point where the rebuild isn't that bad.
