continuation of #109595
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.
As part of the splicing the build/host/target combinations of the interpreter
need to be passed around internally. The chosen names were not very clear,
implying they were package sets whereas actually there were derivations.
This will turn manylinux support back on by default.
PIP will now do runtime checks against the compatible glibc version to
determine if the current interpreter is compatible with a given
manylinux specification. However it will not check if any of the
required libraries are present.
The motivation here is that we want to support building python packages
with wheels that require manylinux support. There is no real change for
users of source builds as they are still buildings packages from source.
The real noticeable(?) change is that impure usages (e.g. running `pip
install package`) will install manylinux packages that previously
refused to install.
Previously we did claim that we were not compatible with manylinux and
thus they wouldn't be installed at all.
Now impure users will have basically the same situation as before: If
you require some wheel only package it didn't work before and will not
properly work now. Now the program will fail during runtime vs during
installation time.
I think it is a reasonable trade-off since it allows us to install
manylinux packages with nix expressions and enables tools like
poetry2nix.
This should be a net win for users as it allows wheels, that we
previously couldn't really support, to be used.
This commit adds a Nix-specific module that recursively adds paths that
are on `NIX_PYTHONPATH` to `sys.path`. In order to process possible
`.pth` files `site.addsitedir` is used.
The paths listed in `PYTHONPATH` are added to `sys.path` afterwards, but
they will be added before the entries we add here and thus take
precedence.
The reason for adding support for this environment variable is that we
can set it in a wrapper without breaking support for `PYTHONPATH`.
Patching numpy.distutils used to be required for pythonPackages.cython
to build on darwin. It was later accidentally disabled during one of the
refactorings, but that did not break cython. This change reinstantiates
the patch. It still applies, so it should be low maintenance and it can
still be useful.
The wrapper is not needed because the runpath is already set correctly,
and LD_LIBRARY_PATH was breaking child processes linked against
different libc versions.

These interpreters are prebuilt by upstream and patched using patchelf.
They are primarily added for testing purposes and development on the
non-prebuilt PyPy interpreters as it can speed up translation
significantly.
This hardcoded list of CFFI extension modules gets stale when PyPy adds
more, but fortunately the main translation step already builds these now
(hack_for_cffi_modules in pypy/goal/targetpypystandalone.py).

Python libraries or modules now have an attribute `pythonModule = interpreter;` to indicate
they provide Python modules for the specified `interpreter`.
The package set provides the following helper functions:
- hasPythonModule: Check whether a derivation provides a Python module.
- requiredPythonModules: Recurse into a list of Python modules, returning all Python modules that are required.
- makePythonPath: Create a PYTHONPATH from a list of Python modules.
Also included in this commit is:
- disabledIf: Helper function for disabling non-buildPythonPackage functions.
