Current, the `cabal2nix` derivation contains both the executable, and a wrapper
that adds `nix` and `nix-prefetch-scripts`, which are required for some
features.
However, when calling `callCabal2nix` to create a derivation from a cabal file
at evaluation time,
these features are not actually used, but the huge closure of
`nix-prefetch-scripts` (which includes multiple vcs, as well as python and perl)
still needs to be fetched.
This commit splits cabal2nix into a lightweight version that is a standalone
static binary (`cabal2nix-unwrapped`), and a wrapper that includes the proper
dependencies in the path for full usage of the command line
utility (`cabal2nix`).
This commit also switches to the default ghc, to reduce the likelyhood of
building a different ghc when calling `callCabal2nix`.
This branch currently seems an almost adequate replacement for gtk2 claws-mail,
except that clicking links in the web view opens them in the email window even
when "open links with external browser" is enabled.
Related: #75040
The project has been abandoned upstream for 2 years. For its entire
lifetime in nixpkgs, the installed binaries segfault due to static
library linking that couldn't be undone due to proprietary changes
to said libraries. In addition, there are unpatched CVEs according
to #29956.
Fixes#29956.

The upstream project is dead, with the last commit being in 2016:
https://github.com/RustDT/Rainicorn
This no longer builds in NixPkgs, and has been marked as broken for a very long
time. Since the package is not maintained and is dead upstream, let's delete.
This package was last released in 2017, and no longer compiles with the latest
Rust compiler. It has just 1 commit from someone other than the original author
and appears to be a dead project.
