- `toRustTarget` and friends pulled out from rust tools into rust
library. Since they don't depend on any packages they can be more
widely useable.
- `build-rust-package` gets its own directory
- `fetch-cargo-tarball` gets its own directory
This change introduces the cargoLock argument to buildRustPackage,
which can be used in place of cargo{Sha256,Hash} or cargoVendorDir. It
uses the importCargoLock function to build the vendor
directory. Differences compared to cargo{Sha256,Hash}:
- Requires a Cargo.lock file.
- Does not require a Cargo hash.
- Retrieves all dependencies as fixed-output derivations.
This makes buildRustPackage much easier to use as part of a Rust
project, since it does not require updating cargo{Sha256,Hash} for
every change to the lock file.
This function can be used to create an output path that is a cargo
vendor directory. In contrast to e.g. fetchCargoTarball all the
dependent crates are fetched using fixed-output derivations. The
hashes for the fixed-output derivations are gathered from the
Cargo.lock file.
Usage is very simple, e.g.:
importCargoLock {
lockFile = ./Cargo.lock;
}
would use the lockfile from the current directory.
The implementation of this function is based on Eelco Dolstra's
import-cargo:

Compared to upstream:
- We use fetchgit in place of builtins.fetchGit.
- Sync to current cargo vendoring.
API change:
`cargoParallelTestThreads` suggests that this attribute sets the
number of threads used during tests, while it is actually a boolean
option (use 1 thread or NIX_BUILD_CORES threads). In the hook, this
is replaced by a more canonical name `dontUseCargoParallelTests`.
- API change: remove the `target` argument of `buildRustPackage`, the
target should always be in sync with the C/C++ compiler that is used.
- Gathering of binaries has moved from `buildPhase` to `installPhase`,
this simplifies the hook and orders this functionality logically
with the installation logic.
We expose it on the top level, but I don't think it makes sense to pull
it from a specific version of the rust tools when it is in fact version
agnostic.
This reverts a tiny portion of 912dca193a.
