By default 'perf annotate' runs "objdump" from PATH.
Unfortunately ${binutils}/bin/ dos not provide it as
it's a minimal wrapper for gcc.
${binutils-unwrapped}/bin/ does have full set of tools.
Let's use that instead.

pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
Newer versions of perf in Linux 5.1+ support disassembling and
annotating eBPF programs inside the kernel. In order to do this, it uses
libbfd's support for bpf disassembly. There are two parts: libopcodes
and libbfd.
The 'perf' build system seems to expect libopcodes/libbfd to go "hand in
hand" -- always together, if one or the other is installed. If the build
system detects libbfd is available, then an import of <dis-asm.h> is
performed, but this fails since it wasn't in the buildInput. Fixing this
should be an easy, backwards-compatible change.
Fixes#60891, allowing linuxPackages_testing.perf to build again
(currently kernel version 5.1.0-rc7).

This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
Otherwise the build system computes incorrect references and looks for
perf-core in /libexec. DESTDIR for normal buildsystems is never the
right choice for nixpkgs.
In the long run it looks like we may actually need a small set of patches to
Perf if that's more maintainable, in which case we would much rather check
NIX_DEBUG_INFO_DIRS.

Certain tools, e.g. compilers, are customarily prefixed with the name of
their target platform so that multiple builds can be used at once
without clobbering each other on the PATH. I was using identifiers named
`prefix` for this purpose, but that conflicts with the standard use of
`prefix` to mean the directory where something is installed. To avoid
conflict and confusion, I renamed those to `targetPrefix`.
starting with linux 4.12 our patch no longer applied. In order to
avoid having to maintain patches for different linux kernels it is
easier to use a wrapper instead.
In 4.1, the build system changed, and it now wants to execute ld like this:
ld -r -o util/scripting-engines/libperf-in.o util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.o util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.o
The actual problem seems to be that `buildInputs = [elfutils ...]`
causes 'ld' to point to elfutils in PATH instead of the usual binutils.
So remove elfutils from buildInputs and set NIX_CFLAGS_* manually. This
is a slight hack, but there is some precedent:
