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.

This change, while fine in isolation, breaks evaluation in combination
with <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/329721>, as `xar` depends
on `e2fsprogs` which now depends on `macfuse-stubs` which depends on
`xar`. This broke `staging-next`.
A couple possible solutions are to disable the `e2fsprogs` dependency
in the version of `xar` used for the bootstrap, or to build
`macfuse-stubs` from source to avoid the `xar` dependency.
This reverts commit 0dfc820f4a.
While preparing this change, I read the git blame on all of the files I
touched. I saw a working lifetime of building this system which we use
every day and love dearly and keep maintained ourselves. I saw commits
from a 14 year range between 2003 to 2017!! I could not be more thankful
for Eelco's work on building large parts of the foundation of nixpkgs
that all of us rely on now.
However, the end date of that range of the files I looked at the blame
on was 2017. I did not see surviving code from any newer date than that.
Looking at the Git logs, Eelco has been working on other things, and
that's totally fine.
However, it means that our maintenance metadata is out of date on a lot
of packages, and *that*'s the reason I am submitting this change. There
are a lot of packages that don't have anyone with their name on them to
be pinged if they need attention, even if they have had recent activity
(although it is never clear if recent activity was just someone fixing
it because ZHF or because the package actually matters to them).
There are a lot of packages with storied history that maybe don't need
to be in the set anymore at all since they have not been touched in
years; or maybe they are simply finished.
Empty maintainer lists should be a sign that we need to figure out who
maintains it or potentially remove it if it has rotted, and allowing the
maintainer list to be empty if it is already not maintained is part of a
healthy repository ecology.
Either way, I would like to have the maintenance metadata not mislead
anyone into sending Eelco emails about packages he doesn't, in practice,
work on anymore. I have not removed his name from everything; there are
some things that he is the upstream for or has worked on more recently,
for instance, like Nix, which I have left alone.
checkInputs used to be added to nativeBuildInputs. Now we have
nativeCheckInputs to do that instead. Doing this treewide change allows
to keep hashes identical to before the introduction of
nativeCheckInputs.
Commit 49d0a5afd mistakenly inverted when to apply the patch.
Maybe it's not needed anymore, as pkgsMusl.e2fsprogs succeeded for me
even without it, but it looks harmless and better not have it inversed.
This way we also don't cause a mass rebuild :-)

e2fsprogs: build fuse2fs on linux only
the fuse for macos might be broken
Fixes compilation on non-glibc at minor cost since these are only
used to guard the use of pragmas selectively disabling warnings
based on the GCC version used.
