I haven't been doing any maintenance for a long time now and not only
do I get notified, it also creates a fake impression that all these
packages had at least one maintainer when in practice they had none.
vifm includes some optional features what are currently no-op due
to missing dependencies. Once such example is `vifm-media`.
vimfm-media is a Linux script included with vifm which can be used to
mount/umount removable media from within vifm. However, vifm-media
has additional dependencies, namely Python, dbus, and a supported
back-end such as udisks2. While vimfm-media is currently installed,
it fails with the error "No supported backend found."
This change adds optional support for vifm-media via the new package
vifm-full; Opening for the opportunity to add whatever optional
dependencies I have not considered in this change in the future,
while not generously increasing the closure size of the original
vifm package.
For reference, vifm has a closure size of 41,164,432 while the new
vifm-full increases this to 382,642,536. Calculated with
`nix path-info -S`
Note: While vifm-media supports numerous back-ends, this change only
adds support for udisks2. In addition, vifm-media is not supported on
MacOS/OSX, for which upstream provides an alternative script.
4d392099 didn't quite do the trick, but this should finally fix
everything -- namely, the -secure.so symlink was broken, and
libmimalloc.so itself was also a symlink that needed to be replaced with
the real shared object file.

We shouldn’t force the user to have a C compiler in scope, just
because the derivation is forced to build locally. That can’t be
counted as “lightweight” anymore.

A definition I’ve been copy-pasting everywhere so far, so it’s finally
time to add it to nixpkgs.
I’m using a remote builder for my regular nix builds, so trivial
`runCommand`s which first try a substitution and then copy the inputs
to the builder to run for 0.2s are quite noticable.
If we just always build these, we gain some build time, so let’s make
it easy to switch from remote to local.
