dc40fca23f nixpkgs: remove ancient 'ecj' package
Nobody has stepped up to keep maintaining this and it's several
years old, and the last strict Java 7 dependency, as it won't work
with newer versions without an update.

306d5cdf03
perlPackages: Add cross-compilation support.
This involved:

* Installing miniperl as $dev/bin/perl
* Setting miniperl to take INC from
  lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}cross_perl/${version} as well as
  lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}/${version}/${runtimeArch}, in that
  order. miniperl taking from runtimeArch is not really correct, but
  it works in some pure-perl cases (e.g. Config.pm) and can be
  overridden with the cross_perl variant.
* Installing perl-cross's stubs into
  $dev/lib/perl5/cross_perl/${version}
* Patching MakeMaker.pm to gracefully degrade (very slightly) if B.pm
  can't be loaded, which it can't in cross-compilation.
* Passing the right build-time and runtime perls to Makefile.PL

9c50ae6898 lib, treewide: Add missing MIPS arches, and fix existing usage
Existing "mips64el" should be "mipsel".

This is just the barest minimum so that nixpkgs can recognize them as
systems - although required for building individual derivations onto
MIPS boards, it is not sufficient if you want to actually build nixos on
those targets

setup-hooks: Add autoPatchelfHook
I originally wrote this for packaging proprietary games in Vuizvui[1]
but I thought it would be generally useful as we have a fair amount of
proprietary software lurking around in nixpkgs, which are a bit tedious
to maintain, especially when the library dependencies change after an
update.

So this setup hook searches for all ELF executables and libraries in the
resulting output paths after install phase and uses patchelf to set the
RPATH and interpreter according to what dependencies are available
inside the builder.

For example consider something like this:

stdenv.mkDerivation {
  ...
  nativeBuildInputs = [ autoPatchelfHook ];
  buildInputs = [ mesa zlib ];
  ...
}

Whenever for example an executable requires mesa or zlib, the RPATH will
automatically be set to the lib dir of the corresponding dependency.

If the library dependency is required at runtime, an attribute called
runtimeDependencies can be used to list dependencies that are added to
all executables that are discovered unconditionally.

Beside this, it also makes initial packaging of proprietary software
easier, because one no longer has to manually figure out the
dependencies in the first place.

4e907dbca1 stdenv: Force doCheck and doInstallCheck to be false when we are cross compiling
I hope this will be a temporary measure. If there is consensus around
issue #33599, then we can follow an explicit `dontCheck`, but default to
not checking during cross builds when none is given.

5f8cf0048e rust: update cargo builder to fetch registry dynamically
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`.

b4ea459eab haskell: introduce failOnAllWarnings
Applying `haskell.lib.failOnAllWarnings` to a Haskell package enables the
`-Wall` and `-Werror` GHC options to turn all warnings into build failures.

345b35c48a Python: add buildPythonPackage.overridePythonPackage method.
This allows one to always override the call to `buildPythonPackage`.

In the following example we create an environment where we have the `blaze` package using an older version of `pandas`. We override first the Python interpreter and pass `packageOverrides` which contains the overrides for packages in
the package set.

```
with import <nixpkgs> {};

(let
  python = let
    packageOverrides = self: super: {
      pandas = super.pandas.overridePythonPackage(old: rec {
        version = "0.19.1";
        name = "pandas-${version}";
        src =  super.fetchPypi {
          pname = "pandas";
          inherit version;
          sha256 = "08blshqj9zj1wyjhhw3kl2vas75vhhicvv72flvf1z3jvapgw295";
        };
      });
    };
  in pkgs.python3.override {inherit packageOverrides;};

in python.withPackages(ps: [ps.blaze])).env
```

2. mkDerivation isn't called with a 'src' attribute, so skip the 'unpackPhase' to avoid an error.
3. Simplify the build command. 'mkdir' and 'patchShebangs' don't need to be called explicitly.

7723d9935f fzf: add script for finding 'share' folder
So that helper scripts can be easily sourced in interactive shell
configuration. `autojump` package was already present and had the same
requirements for findind a `share` folders, so I took an inspiration
there.

I beleive this is a better alternative to:
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/25080
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/27058

Replacing `$out/share/shell` with `$bin/share/fzf` was necessary to
prevent dependency loop in produced derivations.
