The wrapper around `arm-none-eabi-gdb` was not passing through
the command line arguments. This would cause build systems that
attempted to determine the gdb version to hang.
Match the other wrapper by adding `"$@"`, and using `exec` to
call the unwrapped process.
Our gcc-arm-embedded expressions download binaries instead of
building from source. Let's add the appropriate `sourceProvenance`
for this kind of thing.
python27 is only required for arm-none-eabi-gdb-py
and since python27 is EOL, it's worth disabling python support
for GDB, rather then breaking the whole gcc-arm-embedded
There are builds which rely on having the numeric version of gcc (eg "10.2.1")
declared in an environment variable.
Running 'arm-none-eabi-gcc --version' returns:
"arm-none-eabi-gcc (GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain 10-2020-q4-major) 10.2.1 20201103 (release)"
However, the attribute arm-none-eabi-gcc.version is "10-2020-q4-major",
from which there is no way to derive "10.2.1".
Contrast this with the attribute gcc.version which (at this time) gives "10.3.0".
By adding a numVersion attribute, consumers of this package can
correctly determine what GCC version is being executed.

In a few cases it wasn't clear so I left them as-is.
While visiting these moved other things to nativeBuildInputs
when it was clear they were one of these cases:
* makeWrapper
* archive utilities (in order to unpack src)
* a few of these might no longer be needed but leaving for another day

Seems that GCC ARM Embedded have changed convention for file location,
and version 5.2 isn't accessible from the predicted url. That's why
nix-expression is updated to allow overloading url parts.
The $lib output refers to the terminfo database in $out, which is about
10x larger than the ncurses shared library. Splitting these outputs
saves a small amount of space for any derivations that use the terminfo
database but not the ncurses library, but we do not have evidence that
any such exist.
Fixes this:
$ arm-none-eabi-gdb
arm-none-eabi-gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
