1. Fix this eval error:
https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master#tabs-errors
The dev package output (actually a separate derivation) needs to skip
this for cross just as the main package output does.
2. Deduplicate libs attrset and list.
3. Move `nix-functional-tests` to `checkInputs`.
With the Meson build system, we no longer need a `check` vs
`install-check` distinction, so it is simpler to just keeep
everything in one place.
Just now there is a dependency on cachix, which means we cannot test
the installer in CI if forks do not have the necessary secrets set up.
We replace this with a simple http server that serves the installer and
can be both used in CI and locally.
We're not testing against these versions anymore.
If we bring that back (I would support that), we could do so in a clean
way, by making sure that the packaging we test against has a proper version
attribute.
I think I have failed to read the very long version-garbage-like
string for the second time now, leaving me oblivious to the crucial
info that a test failure happens in the context of an older daemon.
The new package output attributes are somewhat experimental, and
provided for compatibility most of all.
We'll see how well this goes before the changes proposed in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6507
It had gotten rather big. Hopefully we'll eventually have some generic
infra for a "multi-package dev shell" and not need so much code for
this, but until then it's better in a separate file.
... and remove a few unused arguments.
This adds pkg-config to a two or three packages that don't use it,
but we shouldn't let that bother us. It's like our personal stdenv.
libgit2 didn't write thin ones, hence the patch.
This should improve performance on systems with weak I/O in ~/.cache,
especially in terms of operations per second, or where system calls
are slower. (macOS, VMs?)
This ensures just `nix build`-ing the flake doesn't forget to run all
tests. One can still specifiy specific attributes to just build one
thing.

As discussed in our meeting, we should use a simplified version for the
libraries without the date or commit hash. This will make rebuilding a
lot faster in many cases.
Progress on #10379

By syncing with Nixpkgs, we reuse the same derivation, which is
generally a good idea, and has the benefit that it is transitively
a channel blocker.
Changes:
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/163313 (SuperSandro2000)
> nix: disable big-parallel for aws-sdk-cpp
> aws-sdk-cpp only takes ~1m52s on a 4 core machine under 50% load
> which does not justify the requirement on big parallel.
> Tested with `nix-build -A nixVersions.nix_2_6.aws-sdk-cpp`.
> I can finally build nix without requiring a big-parallel machine.
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/227506 (Artturin)
> nix: use [ ] instead null to empty requiredSystemFeatures
> fixes 'error: value is null while a list was expected' with 'nixpkgs.hostPlatform.gcc.arch = "x86_64";'
