The indentation stripping semantics of strings are fairly bad and have a
few gotchas where the resulting string has not the intended indentation.
This commit fixes most if not all such instances in Nixpkgs.
I tried to strive a balance between keeping the diff small and
reformatting/refactoring the code to look better. In general,
reformatting should be left to Nixfmt.
Note that this causes a lot of rebuilds by design. All changes need to
be thoroughly vetted and reviewed for correctness. There is no automatic
way to prove correctness.

The hash of the fixed derivation changed
If the old derivation with the hash was cached on the system, the
build failed with:
```
ERROR: /build/output/external/googletest~1.14.0.bcr.1/BUILD.bazel:80:11: Compiling googletest/src/gtest.cc failed: The include path '/nix/store/p5w6cmwqfvhyaf4vjr7jb18a90icrrr2-openjdk-21.0.3+9/include' references a path outside of the execution root.
ERROR: /build/output/external/abseil-cpp~20240116.2/absl/base/BUILD.bazel:755:11: Compiling absl/base/internal/strerror.cc failed: The include path '/nix/store/p5w6cmwqfvhyaf4vjr7jb18a90icrrr2-openjdk-21.0.3+9/include' references a path outside of the execution root.
```
This indicates that the derivation also bakes in the path of the used
JDK, which apparently changed since last time. Quick fix for now:
adapt hash, but hopefully there could be a more long-term solution.
In preparation for the deprecation of `stdenv.isX`.
These shorthands are not conducive to cross-compilation because they
hide the platforms.
Darwin might get cross-compilation for which the continued usage of `stdenv.isDarwin` will get in the way
One example of why this is bad and especially affects compiler packages
https://www.github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343059
There are too many files to go through manually but a treewide should
get users thinking when they see a `hostPlatform.isX` in a place where it
doesn't make sense.

It appears that the fixed derivation generated by bazel implicitly
contains other information, such as the path to the java runtime,
making this break.
