Now that ld.so is symlinked into the libc derivation,
we can use it as a dynamic linker.
In my testing, OpenBSD does not have any issues with executing from
a symlinked ld.so.
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.

warnings.
This is a follow-up to a169553f7e.
In most cases it should allow the TLS verification to be enabled.
It also makes the behavior of `fetchurl` more consistent with other fetchers
like `fetchgit`.
Ideally we would always fallback on `cacert` but I am not sure how to build
`cacert` during bootstrap without making an unmaintainable mess.
As binutils-efi no longer exists, there's no longer any reason to have
the withEFI flag. All supported builds should also build xen.efi.

- Removes the non-slim build instructions, massively simplifying
everything in the package.
- Removes unecessary patches.
- Inherits functions from lib instead of repeating lib.* everywhere.

As the builder is generic, more people may be using it, so we should try
to keep this value as close to the upstream source of truth as possible.

This is some thing introduced in 2017 to work around a problem that
no longer seems to exist. Nothing uses it except its own test, which
these days passes even with the standard `clangStdenv`.
This adds convenience writers for self-contained Nim programs.
Those are compiled into very small binaries.
Test with: `nix build .#pkgs.tests.writers.{bin,simple,wrapping}.nim`
