This patch change the behaviour or overridePackages:
- Before, overridePackages was based on top of the set of packages
overriden by `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix` file.
- After, overridePackages should when given a function f, behave almost¹
the same as-if the packageOverrides attribute of `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix`
file attribute was set to f, assuming that we ignore the extra `self`
argument.
¹ It is not yet exactly the same because we have many paths which are
re-entering nixpkgs while taking the default attributes, such as the
bootstrap phase of stdenv. Thus if the nixpkgs configuration overrides any
of the dependencies need for the bootstrap, then we might get different sha.
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.

The plugin was looking for pvr.hts.so.2.2.13, so as only pvr.hts.so was copied, the plugin would not load. This symlinks all variants of the name to the addons folder.
We now should have only the default.nix left in the source directory and
we can start to factor out the pieces into the Chromium main derivation
attributes.

There were two problems:
- because buildPhase is specified directly, preBuild ends up never being
executed; and
- the source is missing a header, resulting in an undefined reference error
The "sources.nix" also contains information about where to get binary
packages, so calling it "upstream-info.nix" fits better in terms of
naming.
Also, we're moving it away from the sources dir, because the latter will
soon vanish.

We're going to reference the patches in the Chromium main build rather
than applying it to the sources. So as a first step, this should keep
the patches away from the "source" subdirectory so we can make it flat.

Extract stdenvDefault from the set of all packages. As this set of
attributes are inter-dependant, probably due to stdenvOverrides, we have to
keep them in a close set of inter-dependent options.
I guess I will have to investigate more ...
While evaluating the derivation of xbursttools:
the condition `pkgs.stdenv ? overrides` causes the evaluation of
`stdenvCross`. This evaluation comes too early during the execution, as
it prevents the resolution of names such as `pkgs.lib`, and
`stdenvAdapaters.makeStdenvCross`, which we want to take from `pkgs`
instead of `self` in following patches.
By swapping the conditions, we effectively make the resolution of `pkgs.lib`
and `stdenvAdapaters.makeStdenvCross` possible through the pkgs attribute.
Note, the aliases are now computed against the set of packages defined in
the set of all packages, and no longer apply to any overriden package.
I think this is better as this reduces the amount of surprizes.
This modification change the names bound to the `helperFunctions` attribute
set, to be bound to `self` which is constructed by merging the same
`helperFunctions` set with the set of all packages.
This patch works as expected because none of the helperFunction names is
aliased by the name of a package.
The `helperFunctions` and `stdenvAdapters` both use the `pkgs` attribute as
input, either to inherit some properties, either to use it as argument.
The `pkgs` binding used in both expressions of the `helperFunctions` and
`stdenvAdapters` is no longer the result of the `applyGlobalOverrides`
function, but the argument of the `pkgsFun` function.
The `pkgsFun` functions is called twice under `applyGlobalOverrides`, and in
both cases, the first argument of `pkgsFun` correspond to the result of
`applyGlobalOverrides`.
Thus, this modification will change the bindings, but the evaluation of
`<nixpkgs>`.
A third call the `pkgsFun` exists under `overridePackages` in the set of all
packages. Previously, the `helperFunctions` and `stdenvAdapaters` would use
the functions defined as part of the default `<nixpkgs>` set. With this
modification, the `helperFunctions` and the `stdenvAdapters` are now using
the fix-point of the newly evaluated package set.
This implies that this modification allow the user to use
`overridePackages`, which is already not recommended for performance
reasons, to override the inputs of the `helperFucntions` and
`stdenvAdapaters` too, where this was not possible before.
We were previously getting collissions for the following
2 files with files from the dropbox package:
- bin/dropbox
- share/applications/dropbox.desktop
As a consequence the binary has been renamed to dropbox-cli and
the .desktop removed as it is redundant.
- missing cd command
- invoke bundler through nix-shell, so it doesn't need to be on $PATH
Note: running bundix through nix-shell won't work ATM, as the shell sets
SSL_CERT_FILE=/no-cert-file.crt which prevents fetching throug https.
- use version from gemset to simplify updating
- don't break line in meta.description
