Recent illumos includes a linux-incompatible `inotify.h` header, which configure detects: compilation fails.
Also, a newer `dtrace` on SmartOS fails creating the probes ELF linkable object (with `dtrace -G`). Disable for now.
Remove old configure option `--disable-modular-tests`.
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
As of 65221567c1, it's no longer needed.
Also, this is one of the packages that has caused the tarball evaluation
to fail for freebsd targets, so I guess it's twice a reason to remove
it.

1) Make the core python libraries deterministic.
2) Make the python libraries created by glib deterministic.
@vcunat put back the removal of share/gtk-doc in glib.
(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.
- move frome $out to $out/share
- fix quoting that prevented globbing
- indent by spaces (as it is more common in nixpkgs; 4 spaces for shell)
More work is still needed for some individual packages.
