Rationale:
With the advent of RFC 140, Nixpkgs becomes to promote self-contained package
directories and strongly discourages scattering along the old and deprecated
filesystem hierarchy.
Further, `build-support/flutter/*` is not referenced by any other expressions in
Nixpkgs besides flutter itself.
Further, concentrating all Flutter-related toolset below a same directory
hierarchy (arguably?) eases maintenance and future migrations.
For a long time, we've had `crossLibcStdenv`, `*Cross` libc attributes,
and `*bsdCross` pre-libc package sets. This was always bad because
having "cross" things is "not declarative": the naming doesn't reflect
what packages *need* but rather how we *provide* something. This is
ugly, and creates needless friction between cross and native building.
Now, almost all of these `*Cross` attributes are gone: just these are
kept:
- Glibc's and Musl's are kept, because those packages are widely used
and I didn't want to risk changing the native builds of those at this
time.
- generic `libcCross`, `theadsCross`, and friends, because these relate
to the convolulted GCC bootstrap which still needs to be redone.
The BSD and obscure Linux or freestnanding libcs have conversely all
been made to use a new `stdenvNoLibc`, which is like the old
`crossLibcStdenv` except:
1. It usable for native and cross alike
2. It named according to what it *is* ("a standard environment without
libc but with a C compiler"), rather than some non-compositional
jargon ("the stdenv used for building libc when cross compiling",
yuck).
I should have done this change long ago, but I was stymied because of
"infinite recursions". The problem was that in too many cases we are
overriding `stdenv` to *remove* things we don't need, and this risks
cyles since those more minimal stdenvs are used to build things in the
more maximal stdenvs.
The solution is to pass `stage.nix` `stdenvNoCC`, so we can override to
*build up* rather than *tear down*. For now, the full `stdenv` is also
passed, so I don't need to change the native bootstraps, but I can see
this changing as we make things more uniform and clean those up.

I broke the usage of buildRustCrate with a toolchain from rust-overlay
when I added support for wasm32-unknown-unknown, this change adds
additional conditionals to restore the usage.
The toolchain can now be overriden either through
```
buildRustCrate {
rust = toolchain;
cargo = toolchain
}
```
or
```
buildRustCrate.override {
rustc = toolchain;
cargo = toolchain;
}
```
They should now be consistent with each other.
- stop binding attributes we don't care about (e.g. name, doCheck)
- remove attributes we handle in nix (e.g. useAppHost)
- inherit attributes with default values (e.g. packNupkg)
Unpacking to the build root was a bad idea. stdenv uses dumpVars() to
create a file env-vars containing the entire environment. This was
being installed in the derivation output, and since it contains lots of
store paths, it was bloating the closure for every nuget package.
After this change, enableParallelBuilding defaults to true for packages
using buildDotnetModule. The argument value already defaults to true,
but we did not use it. Note that default values in Nix are not present
in the arguments attribute set, e.g. `args` does not contain `def` for
`{ def ? true }@args: …` function unless this argument is explicitly
passed.
Before an overlay in the form of:
package.overrideAttrs (old: {
passthru = {};
})
would fail evaluation like:
error: attribute 'overrideModAttrs' missing
at /nix/store/afwc3m1sm49qq57xjv2hmd7iy4x0j33h-source/pkgs/build-support/go/module.nix:179:20:
178| outputHashAlgo = if finalAttrs.vendorHash == "" then "sha256" else null;
179| }).overrideAttrs finalAttrs.passthru.overrideModAttrs;
| ^
180|
Now instead we take the fallback default.
We should constrain the set of supported platforms to the platforms
supported by the compiler. Otherwise we run into the unfortunate
situation where setting meta.platforms in a Rust package to
platforms.unix or platforms.linux will reintroduce CPU architectures
unsupported by the compiler.
