pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
We can use use `stdenv.hostPlatform.isStatic` instead, and move the
logic per package. The least opionated benefit of this is that it makes
it much easier to replace packages with modified ones, as there is no
longer any issue of overlay order.

The update script would only fetch the few grammars listed in the
tree-sitter repository previously. But the tree-sitter github orga has
a rather large amount of officially supported grammars.
Thus we change the script to query the github APIs for repositories
instead (up to 100 this is supported without paging).
Since the repository list also contains some that are not grammars,
there is a bash script which lists all repos we are aware of and the
ones we want to ignore. It will make sure we don’t forget any
repositories in the future, by comparing to the actual list with jq.
The tree-sitter build closure is pretty lean by default, but the
optional web-ui requires emscripten to compile the web interface
javascript/wasm code.
This is clearly not worth the increase in build closure size, and
since emscripten is broken more often than not, let’s patch it out by
default. If somebody /really/ needs the web-ui, there is a
`webUISupport` flag.
This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads:
Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot
use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that
are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files.
This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this
package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use
fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale
hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing
overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at
the bottom).
