Hydra build is failing[1] because of a hash-mismatch of the gss-api
patch from debian.
I updated the patch, and activated the `autoreconfHook` when building
gss support as well, otherwise the build would fail with the following
error:
```
ERROR: configure is out of date; please run autoreconf (and configure)
```
[1] https://hydra.nixos.org/build/109409845
While 9fe10288f0 ensured that the
ssh-keysign path is searched for in PATH if not absolute,
it doesn't prevent the configure script from defaulting to an
absolute path in $out/libexec, making the whole effort rather
pointless.
ssh-keysign is used for host-based authentication, and is designed to be used
as SUID-root program. OpenSSH defaults to referencing it from libexec, which
cannot be made SUID in Nix.
added openssh_gssapi to make it easier to test the patched version
the HPN edition isn't available on top of 7.9p1 yet
fix-host-key-algorithms-plus.patch didn't apply anymore, assuming it's
fixed.

This can be disabled with the `withKerberos` flag if desired.
Make the relevant assertions lazy,
so that if an overlay is used to set kerberos to null,
a later override can explicitly set `withKerberos` to false.
Don't build with GSSAPI by default;
the patchset is large and a bit hairy,
and it is reasonable to follow upstream who has not merged it
in not enabling it by default.
* 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
Release notes are available at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.5.
Mostly a bugfix release, no major backwards-incompatible changes.
Remove deprecated `UsePrivilegeSeparation` option,
which is now mandatory.
This reverts commit 277080fea0.
I had tested the server on my physical machine before pushing,
but the openssh test got broken so something is clearly wrong.

The two removed patches were for issues that should've been fixed.
Minor vulnerabilities addressed: CVE-2016-{10009,10010,10011,10012}.

(This is a rewritten version of the reverted commit
a927709a35, that disables the creation of
/var/empty during build so that sandboxed builds also works. For more
context, see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/16966)
If running NixOS inside a container where the host's root-owned files
and directories have been mapped to some other uid (like nobody), the
ssh daemon fails to start, producing this error message:
fatal: /nix/store/...-openssh-7.2p2/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.
The reason for this is that when openssh is built, we explicitly set
`--with-privsep-path=$out/empty`. This commit removes that flag which
causes the default directory /var/empty to be used instead. Since NixOS'
activation script correctly sets up that directory, the ssh daemon now
also works within containers that have a non-root-owned nix store.
