I originally wanted to do this a long time (a31301d) but IIRC back then
it didn't compile. Nowadays with the splitup of the gold linking flags
and the binutils integration, it's merely just a switch to flip, so
let's do that.
Only tested it by building against the current Chromium stable version
on 64bit, because right now builds on Hydra seem to time out (because of
this?) anyway so we have nothing to lose here.
The linking time was hereby reduced from >30 minutes (I didn't measure
it exactly but looked half an hour later to the build progress and it
was *still* linking) to about a few seconds, which I guess is even
though the measurement is quite bogus a tremendous improvement
nonetheless.

Commit aa097946d2 only fixed evaluation.
Ssince 37dbd62 however, the fetchurl call is already implied so just
changing the path will still result in fetchurl (fetchurl ...), so let's
drop the outer fetchurl.

Fixes#12794 by reverting the source tree splitup (c92dbff) to use the
source tarball directly into the main Chromium derivation and making the
whole source/ subdirectory obsolete. The reasons for this are explained
in 4f981b4f84.
This also now renames the "sources.nix" file to "upstream-info.nix",
which is a more proper name for the file, because it not only contains
"source code" but also the Chrome binaries needed for the proprietary
plugins (of course "source" could also mean "where to get it", but I
wanted to avoid this ambiguity entirely).
I have successfully built and tested this using the VM tests.
All results can be found here:
https://headcounter.org/hydra/eval/313435
As of 6041cfe, the upstream-info.nix (back then it was called
sources.nix) is no longer in the source/ subdirectory, so we need to fix
that comment to say that the file is autogenerated from update.sh in the
*same* directory.

This reverts commit 5979946c41.
I have tested this by building against the stable version of Chromium
and it seems to compile just fine, so it doesn't seem to be needed
anymore.

Only a aesthetics thingy, but also corrects the comment, because we're
essentially precompiling .py files, NOT the .pyc files (the latter are
the results).

This addresses #12794 so that we now have only a single tarball where we
base our build on instead of splitting the source into different outputs
first and then reference the outputs.
The reason I did this in the first place is that we previously built the
sandbox as a different derivation and unpacking the whole source tree
just for building the sandbox was a bit too much.
As we now have namespaces sandbox built in by default we no longer have
that derivation anymore. It still might come up however if we want to
build NaCl as a separate derivation (see #8560), but splitting the
source code into things only NaCl might require is already too much work
and doesn't weight out the benefits.
Another issue with the source splitup is that Hydra now has an output
limit for non-fixed-output derivations which we're already hitting.
Tested the build against the stable channel and it went well, but I
haven't tested running the browser.

We always do something like "fetchurl channelProduct", so let's move it
to getChannel directly so we can avoid those fetchurl calls all over the
place.
Also, we can still access subattributes from the fetchurl call if we
need to, so there really is no need to expose the product's attributes
directly.

Yes, I know I'm a bit nitpicky, but lines >80 chars are very ugly if you
have two windows side-by-side.
Thus no feature changes here.

We now should have only the default.nix left in the source directory and
we can start to factor out the pieces into the Chromium main derivation
attributes.

The "sources.nix" also contains information about where to get binary
packages, so calling it "upstream-info.nix" fits better in terms of
naming.
Also, we're moving it away from the sources dir, because the latter will
soon vanish.

We're going to reference the patches in the Chromium main build rather
than applying it to the sources. So as a first step, this should keep
the patches away from the "source" subdirectory so we can make it flat.

We were previously getting collissions for the following
2 files with files from the dropbox package:
- bin/dropbox
- share/applications/dropbox.desktop
As a consequence the binary has been renamed to dropbox-cli and
the .desktop removed as it is redundant.
