This release replaces the libpulseaudio shim with a pipewire module that acts as a fake pulseaudio server along with a systemd service that loads that module on demand.
This splits PulseAudio and JACK emulation into separate outputs. Doing
so provides a number of benefits.
First it fixes pw-pulse and pw-jack. Prior to this they pointed to bogus
locations because the environment variables were not evaluated.
Technically fixing this only requires setting libpulse-path and
libjack-path to any absolute path not necessarily separate outputs but
it comes as a nice result.
Secondly it allows overriding libpulseaudio with pipewire.pulse in many
packages. This is possible because the new outputs have a more standard
layout.
This adds two tests. One is for whether the paths used by the module are
present, while the other is for testing functionality of PipeWire
itself. This is done with the recent addition of installed tests by
upstream.
After making `ffmpeg` point to the latest `ffmpeg_4`, all packages that
used `ffmpeg` without requiring a specific version now use ffmpeg_3
explicitly so they shouldn't change.
Hydra run tests are failing with SIGILL, see [1] , import the upstream
patch to fix the issue. Presumably not all hydra runners have the same
instruction extensions, this should fix the tests on those without AVX2.

This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
Uses the HTTPS url for cases where the existing URL has a permanent
redirect. For each domain, at least one fixed derivation URL was
downloaded to test the domain is properly serving downloads.
Also fixes jbake source URL, which was broken.
