The plugin now has a tagged version that is based on the date.
Previously, we had to use a random commit and manually choose the
relevant date. Now, we use the official tag as a version here
and to fetch from git.
While at it: fix the tests - somewhere over the course of the
lasts year, the tests stopped being run. Fixed now.
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.
Update plugins to be compatible with latest surelog/uhdm (1.45).
Also fix expected googletest path so that it comes from the
nix environment, not third_party/.

This fixes the patch introduced in:
94a047ca74 (yosys: fix build on darwin, 2021-11-09)
Because we supply yosys with an external build of ABC, the patched
ABCMKARGS variable is without influence. Even if we were building with
in-tree ABC, that part of the patch is wrong, so drop it altogether.
Fixes up the usage of patches/postInstall. Also removes `stdenv.lib` and
other minor tweaks.
Based on feedback from Sandro and Mihai.

d81e4d9f66 contained some minor fixes to the yosys derivation
that make it a little easier to read and maintain. Incorporate those.

These plugins can be included in a closure, along with the `yosys`
derivation, and they will be automatically picked up for use. For
example, this allows you to include 'yosys-bluespec' in your
`buildInputs`, and then immediately run:
$ nix-shell -p yosys yosys-bluespec yosys-ghdl
$ yosys -m bluespec -p 'help read_bluespec'
$ yosys -m ghdl -p 'help ghdl'
These two plugins are a bit experimental, admittedly, but they are good,
clean examples of how to write and use the yosys plugin infrastructure,
and make it easy to test updates, etc.

By default, when yosys looks for plugins with the `-m` flag or `plugin`
command, it always looks in `YOSYS_PREFIX/share/yosys/plugins` for a
`.so` file, and loads that.
By design, this is intended to be a single, global, mutable location
such as `/usr/share/yosys/...` on disk, and plugins are supposed to
install their `.so` files here after yosys is installed, and they all
coexist together. Obviously, this won't work for us, but users might
expect these plugins to still work. More importantly, they won't want to
add special cases to their build systems.
Instead, to allow Nix users to use yosys plugins with the same UX (e.g.
natively call `plugin bluespec` or `-m ghdl`), we add a patch to yosys
that allows it to search a new `NIX_YOSYS_PLUGIN_DIRS` search path
environment variable. In tandem, we add a setup hook that adds to this
search path if a package has a `$out/share/yosys/plugins` directory.
Thus, it's enough to just include `yosys`, and any package that has a
yosys plugin in `$out/share/yosys/plugins`, and you can load it with
`-m` or the `plugin` command.
We could use a style like the haskellPackages set, where the set of
packages are "encased" in a lambda, and we pass packages that are
compatible with that version of the compiler:
haskell.packages.ghc8102.ghcWithPackages (p: with p; [ ... ])
but, realistically, there will probably only ever be one version of
yosys and one set of compatible plugins, so this seems overdone.
