This brings a new stable version 40.0.2214.91 along with a beta update
to version 41.0.2272.16, the dev channel is still stuck at version
41.0.2272.12 and within the next days will jump to version 42.
For this reason, I've done some cheating here and brought the beta
channel in par with the dev channel, because dev is older than beta on
OmahaProxy.
Here's an overview of the channel upgrades:
stable: 39.0.2171.65 -> 40.0.2214.91 [1]
beta: 40.0.2214.10 -> 41.0.2272.16 [1] [2] [3]
dev: 41.0.2224.3 -> 41.0.2272.16 [1] [2] [3]
[1]: We needed to patch in locations of lib{pci,udev}.so, because
Chromium tries to load them at runtime. For version 41 startup will
fail if it is unable to load libudev, but it also has the advantage
that this fixes GPU detection using libpci in the stable version,
which in turn could fix a few bugs on NixOS.
[2]: The upstream Debian package for the binary plugins now uses XZ
compression for the enclosed data tarball.
[3]: Chromium 41 needs {shapshot,natives}_blob.bin in order to start up,
so let's cp it among with the .pak files to avoid adding a
conditional for version 40.
The release annoucement of the stable channel update can be found here:

Note that this release contains 62 security fixes(!) and I'm hereby
apologizing for the delay of this update.

We now create Nix expressions within the plugin output path(s) which
then will be imported and incorporated into the wrapper. This makes it
easier for other plugins to provide configuration settings to the main
Chromium wrapper.
Of course, in order to allow for external plugins we need to allow
passing a list of plugins to the Chromium derivation, but right now we
keep it internal and only use it for things such as NaCl (as soon as we
support it, of course).

The Chromium PDF plugin is now available as open source software and is
already included in the Chromium source tree in current stable, so there
is no need to extract it from the Chrome binary package anymore.

Introduces environment variables to set plugin base paths. The schema
for these is like NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_<N>. Where <N> is the path
type we want to change, the supported (full) variable names are:
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_ALL
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_PEPPERFLASH
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_FILEFLASH
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_PDF
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_FILE_EFFECTS
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_NACL
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_PNACL
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_WIDEVINE
Whereas NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_ALL is the plugin base path for every
path which is not set explicitly, so by setting ..._ALL and not setting
..._WIDEVINE, the widevine plugin will be searched in the directory
specified using ..._ALL.
Right now, the only plugin where this is used is widevine, and it still
doesn't properly work yet.

Seems to be needed in order to view Netflix content, but this only pulls
in the proprietary plugin and doesn't yet compile Chromium with support
for it, so this is only in preparation for the bright and shiny future
(where we all have rootkits implanted in our body).
Of course, this plugin is disabled by default as well as all the other
proprietary plugins.
For the plugin derivation, we now do the checkPhase _after_ the
installPhase, to make sure we also detect RPATHs pointing to the plugin
directory itself, because the shared object files only exist after the
installPhase.

This now uses the Debian package from the sources derivation instead of
hardcoding it, so we finally should have proper PepperAPI plugin support
without crashing plugins and whatnot.

We now no longer pass enablePepperFlash and enablePepperPDF to the
browser package itself and only use plugins.flagsEnabled from there.
