92edcb7ebb top-level: Lay the groundwork for {build,host,target}Platform
The long term goal is a big replace:
  { inherit system platform; } => buildPlatform
  crossSystem => hostPlatform
  stdenv.cross => targetPlatform
And additionally making sure each is defined even when not cross compiling.

This commit refactors the bootstrapping code along that vision, but leaves
the old identifiers with their null semantics in place so packages can be
modernized incrementally.

f5dfe78a1e Add overlays mechanism to Nixpkgs.
This patch add a new argument to Nixpkgs default expression named "overlays".

By default, the value of the argument is either taken from the environment variable `NIXPKGS_OVERLAYS`,
or from the directory `~/.nixpkgs/overlays/`.  If the environment variable does not name a valid directory
then this mechanism would fallback on the home directory.  If the home directory does not exists it will
fallback on an empty list of overlays.

The overlays directory should contain the list of extra Nixpkgs stages which would be used to extend the
content of Nixpkgs, with additional set of packages.  The overlays, i-e directory, files, symbolic links
are used in alphabetical order.

The simplest overlay which extends Nixpkgs with nothing looks like:

```nix
self: super: {
}
```

More refined overlays can use `super` as the basis for building new packages, and `self` as a way to query
the final result of the fix-point.

An example of overlay which extends Nixpkgs with a small set of packages can be found at:
  https://github.com/nbp/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/nixpkgs-overlay/moz-overlay.nix

To use this file, checkout the repository and add a symbolic link to
the `moz-overlay.nix` file in `~/.nixpkgs/overlays` directory.

3e197f7d81 top-level: Normalize stdenv booting
Introduce new abstraction, `stdenv/booter.nix` for composing bootstraping
stages, and use it everywhere for consistency. See that file for more doc.

Stdenvs besides Linux and Darwin are completely refactored to utilize this.
Those two, due to their size and complexity, are minimally edited for
easier reviewing.

No hashes should be changed.

4751d9e5ad top-level: turn the screw
- Non-cross stdenvs are honest and assert that `crossSystem` is null

 - `crossSystem` is a mandatory argument to top-level/stage.nix, just like
   `system` and `platform`

 - Broken default arguments on stdenvs for testing are gone.

 - All stdenvs (but little-used stdenvNix) take the same arguments for easy
   testing.

39753f5360 top-level: Close over fewer arguments for stdenv stages
This makes the flow of data easier to understand. There's little downside
because the args in question are already inspected by the stdenvs.

cross-compiling in particular is simpler because we don't need to worry
about overriding the config closed over by `allPackages`.

d240a0da1a top-level: Remove cycles: stdenv calls in top-level but not vice versa
This commit changes the dependencies of stdenv, and clean-up the stdenv
story by removing the `defaultStdenv` attribute as well as the `bootStdenv`
parameter.

Before, the final bootstrapping stage's stdenv was provided by
all-packages, which was iterating multiple times over the
top-level/default.nix expression, and non-final bootstrapping stages'
stdenvs were explicitly specified with the `bootStdenv` parameter.

Now, all stages' stdenvs are specified with the `stdenv` parameter.
For non-final bootstrapping stages, this is a small change---basically just
rename the parameter.
For the final stage, top-level/default.nix takes the chosen stdenv and
makes the final stage with it.

`allPackages` is used to make all bootstrapping stages, final and
non-final alike. It's basically the expression of `stage.nix` (along with a
few partially-applied default arguments)

Note, the make-bootstrap-tools scripts are temporarily broken

cf8daf6312 Add an option ‘stdenv.userHook’ to set a global stdenv setup hook
This allows various applications.  It allows users to set global
optimisation flags, e.g.

  stdenv.userHook = ''NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE+=" -funroll-loops"'';

But the impetus is as an alternative to issue , allowing impure
stdenv setup for people who want to use distcc:

  stdenv.userHook = "source /my/impure/setup-script.sh";

This is probably a bad idea, but at least now it's a bad idea in
people's configuration and not in Nixpkgs. :-)

* gcc-wrapper: "glibc" -> "libc", because someday we might support
  different C libraries.

  don't need it.
* gcc: merge in support for static builds.
