What was not mentioned in the changelog is that this release fixes
compiling the VirtualBox modules against kernel 4.15, which was added in
commit 61043ad4d1.
Tested this by running all of the tests in nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix.

This reverts commit 695027f61c.
We really can't have "nix-env -i nix" *not* upgrade nixUnstable to a
newer nixStable. For instance, it would cause "nix upgrade-nix" to
produce a user environment with collisions.
Among other things, this will allow *2nix tools to output plain data
while still being composable with the traditional
callPackage/.override interfaces.
This is already tracked in upstream issue mumble-voip/mumble#3281 and a
fix has been merged in mumble-voip/mumble@caa187373e.
The patch I'm adding here is using the merged commit
mumble-voip/mumble@ea861fe867 and I've
only added it for the stable release because the patch is already
included in the git version.
@pbogdan also had a similar commit to this
(pbogdan/nixpkgs@8029edea29), but the
patch was applied to both stable and git and thus the git version would
have been broken.
Tested by building mumble and mumble_git and running the mumble NixOS VM
test.
