3e197f7d81 top-level: Normalize stdenv booting
Introduce new abstraction, `stdenv/booter.nix` for composing bootstraping
stages, and use it everywhere for consistency. See that file for more doc.

Stdenvs besides Linux and Darwin are completely refactored to utilize this.
Those two, due to their size and complexity, are minimally edited for
easier reviewing.

No hashes should be changed.

4751d9e5ad top-level: turn the screw
- Non-cross stdenvs are honest and assert that `crossSystem` is null

 - `crossSystem` is a mandatory argument to top-level/stage.nix, just like
   `system` and `platform`

 - Broken default arguments on stdenvs for testing are gone.

 - All stdenvs (but little-used stdenvNix) take the same arguments for easy
   testing.

39753f5360 top-level: Close over fewer arguments for stdenv stages
This makes the flow of data easier to understand. There's little downside
because the args in question are already inspected by the stdenvs.

cross-compiling in particular is simpler because we don't need to worry
about overriding the config closed over by `allPackages`.

d240a0da1a top-level: Remove cycles: stdenv calls in top-level but not vice versa
This commit changes the dependencies of stdenv, and clean-up the stdenv
story by removing the `defaultStdenv` attribute as well as the `bootStdenv`
parameter.

Before, the final bootstrapping stage's stdenv was provided by
all-packages, which was iterating multiple times over the
top-level/default.nix expression, and non-final bootstrapping stages'
stdenvs were explicitly specified with the `bootStdenv` parameter.

Now, all stages' stdenvs are specified with the `stdenv` parameter.
For non-final bootstrapping stages, this is a small change---basically just
rename the parameter.
For the final stage, top-level/default.nix takes the chosen stdenv and
makes the final stage with it.

`allPackages` is used to make all bootstrapping stages, final and
non-final alike. It's basically the expression of `stage.nix` (along with a
few partially-applied default arguments)

Note, the make-bootstrap-tools scripts are temporarily broken
