This adds a new package: OpenSpace, an open source astrovisualization
project, and one of its dependencies: SOIL (Simple OpenGL Image
Library).
This kind of works for me, but please note that this build is not very
usable for now. This is a first attempt. Also, Linux doesn't seem to
be well supported upstream, hence the various patches (I will open an
issue upstream to discuss them).
Squashed commits:
openspace: fetch upstream glm "patch"
openspace: add missing dependency (libXxf86vm)
soil: mesa -> mesa_noglu
The 0.16-releases contain several useful new features:

I also added myself as maintainer to have more people available if the
package breaks a release.
* 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
The build with the modularized qt expression succeeded, but the resulting binary
would crash immediately, complaining about the lack of a "qt.labs.shader" module.
This patch works around that issue.
This fixes builds after #4419. Thanks to @vbgl for the original commit;
I changed that as I'm not sure whether passing null values to buildInputs is clean.

(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
Stellarium is supposed to compile on mesaPlatforms, but unfortunately our qt47
expression doesn't support platforms other than Linux.

The build doesn't work with the latest version 5.1.x. Upstream is going
to release an update to fix this soon.
