So far we had the bundled Flash player plugin that came with Chrome, but
since version 54 the Chrome package doesn't include PPAPI Flash anymore.
Instead we're going to download the PPAPI Flash plugin directly from
Adobe and try to use them for all release channels of Chromium.
Of course it would be nice if we'd have an updater for it but for now
it's important that we don't break things for people who are currently
forced to use Flash.

This addresses #12794 so that we now have only a single tarball where we
base our build on instead of splitting the source into different outputs
first and then reference the outputs.
The reason I did this in the first place is that we previously built the
sandbox as a different derivation and unpacking the whole source tree
just for building the sandbox was a bit too much.
As we now have namespaces sandbox built in by default we no longer have
that derivation anymore. It still might come up however if we want to
build NaCl as a separate derivation (see #8560), but splitting the
source code into things only NaCl might require is already too much work
and doesn't weight out the benefits.
Another issue with the source splitup is that Hydra now has an output
limit for non-fixed-output derivations which we're already hitting.
Tested the build against the stable channel and it went well, but I
haven't tested running the browser.

Yes, I know I'm a bit nitpicky, but lines >80 chars are very ugly if you
have two windows side-by-side.
Thus no feature changes here.

Fixes: #12840
Related to: 61042a561042a5 changes the replaced token from $something to @something@. This
commit repeats that change in one additional location used by the
WideVine plugin
There is already a pull request from @colemickens, who has just reversed
the variable references $flash and $flashVersion but the fix is kinda
fragile as he points out himself in #12713.
The reason the wrong substition was made is that both variables begin
with the same name and we do a simple replace instead of a more
complicated one using builtins.match.
So staying simple but to still not raising issues with other variables
that begin with the same name I'm now using @var@ instead, like we use
in substituteAll and other substituters (like the ones in CMake or
autotools) deal with it.
Note that I'm not using $var$ here to make sure it doesn't get confused
with real shell variables.
So with this fix in place, the wrapper now has the following flags:
--ppapi-flash-path=/nix/store/.../lib/libpepflashplayer.so
--ppapi-flash-version=20.0.0.294
Previously we had (#12710):
--ppapi-flash-path=/nix/store/.../lib/libpepflashplayer.so
--ppapi-flash-version=/nix/store/...-binary-plugins-flashVersion
Thanks to @colemickens for reporting and putting up a pull request.

This reverts commit f7af2272a2.
We're going to fix#12710 properly by reintroducing 38c77bb and fixing
the shell variable substitution.

This has been introduced by me in 690a845 and discovered by @vcunat in
his comment over at:
690a845de9 (commitcomment-14209868)
It's really a bit ugly to have builds running during evaluation, but
back when I made that commit the reason was to avoid having to shell
quote the hell out of it (see the comment in mkPluginInfo for the
reason).
Now we propagate plugin flags and environment variables as a list of
arguments in a plain file that's appended verbatim to makeWrapper, so
it shouldn't do any builds anymore during instantiation.
I have tested this with both just WideVine and just Flash enabled as
well as both in combination and none of the plugins and the output seems
correct. However I didn't test to run Chromium with the new
implementation.

We're propagating the plugin flags by importing from another Nix
expression file, which in turn exports the Nix path to the wrapper. This
causes that the store path isn't referenced in the wrapper and the path
isn't recognized by scanning the wrapper script (only those already
referenced at build time are).
So let's add the activated plugins to the buildInputs of the wrapper.

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:
http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.de/2015/01/stable-update.html
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.
