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.

In 0.4.36, the sed expression that tries to disable the exec_opcodes_sys
test also deletes other lines that break the file syntax. The build
fails with:
testsuite/meson.build:23:25: ERROR: Expecting endif got colon.
install: false,
^
For a block that started at 22,2
if enabled_backends.contains('sse') and enabled_backends.contains('avx')
^
The test has apparently been fixed since 0.4.33 anyway (see [1]), so
just get rid of this sed patch.

* transition from name to pname + version
* change the build system to meson, as autotools is no longer supported by upstream
* optionally build devdoc output
* whatever the reason for manipulating the pkgconfig,
omitting it doesn't seem to break the build of orc
or any of its direct reverse dependencies
I haven't been doing any maintenance for a long time now and not only
do I get notified, it also creates a fake impression that all these
packages had at least one maintainer when in practice they had none.
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
... after auto-removing some kinds of files by default.
In some cases I let them be removed and in others I let them be put into
$docdev. That was more due to general indecisiveness on this question
than any reasons in the particular cases.
