* Extend libc
Include non-libc core libraries in the libc package. Many of these
mirror libraries present in glibc on linux, such as libgcc, libraries
used for iconv, and libraries used for reading kernel info (libkvm,
libprocstat, libmemstat).
Without this many packages outside the freebsd tree would need to be
modified to include standard dependencies which would already be on
the system for other packages.
* Mark FreeBSD as using LLVM
* Update default LLVM version FreeBSD
* Use patch monolith
The patchesRoot system combined with the fact that each derivation
will Request specific names of patches makes it very annoying to use
other FreeBSD source trees with nixpkgs. This new system allows
providing one Or more entire trees of patches whose contents will be
dynamically Parsed and only the relevant patches will be applied for
any one Derivation.
With this commit, the following knobs are available for specifying the
FreeBSD source:
- overriding `freebsd.versionInfo`, for picking another official
supported FreeBSD release.
- overriding `freebsd.source` for specifying a specific unpatched
FreeBSD source tree.
- overriding `freebsd.patches`, for specifying the patches to apply.

The idea behind that is to enable users and developers of
downstream tools such as home-manager to test Nix master for several
reasons:
* Nix is currently trying to have a `master` branch that's always
releasable[1]. We're still on Nix 2.18 in nixpkgs due to too many
notable regressions. Enabling people to test latest master may help on
that end.
* This uses the most bleeding-edge Nix, but our packaging, so we can
identify issues with our packaging early.
* From what I've seen, most people are using the packages from nixpkgs
anyways instead of the upstream flake, this is far more convenient
anyways.
My plan is to update this once a week. Right now we rely on the
`installCheckPhase` here, but as soon as we have proper regression
testing[2], we may want to add `nixUnstable` there as well (however with
failures being allowed probably).

This is all I could find after co-maintaining lib for a long time.
I've had the fortune of basically not really noticing this file,
because it has had very few interactions until the confusion in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/304277
It seems to be a state of limbo, which would be nice to resolve
(with great care), but this is not urgent, and first we should
document its status.
Part 1 of #301908.
This renames the two versions of the Apple Public Source License seen in
nixpkgs; `apsl20` was often confused as being for the widely-used Apache
License 2.0.
I haven't managed to trigger the error, and it turns out that this
method is optional.
Specifically, getSubmodules is unimplemented (and unimplementable),
the tests pass, and we seem to have good location info.
