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.

stdenv.targetPlatform really shouldn't be used by software that
doesn't generate or manipulate binaries. I reviewed all uses of
targetPlatform outside of pkgs/development/compilers and pkgs/stdenv
and replaced those which weren't involved in something which fits
these criteria.
with structuredAttrs lists will be bash arrays which cannot be exported
which will be a issue with some patches and some wrappers like cc-wrapper
this makes it clearer that NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE must be a string as lists
in env cause a eval failure
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.
- 0.23.8 includes c975d8b943
- said change fixes deprecation warnings introduced in the 12.0 sdk, using definitions from the 12.0 sdk
- nixpkgs uses 10.12 and 11.0, neither of which are the 12.0 sdk
- this will gracefully degrade into a no-op when that changes
The darwin-specific AssertMacros header has some legacy macros with very
generic names such as "check" which happen to conflict with mpd's
headers. We can explicitly opt out of these macros - at some point in
the future, they will not be defined by default.
Also remove stdenv override, not needed now that x86_64-darwin uses LLVM 11
this feature already gets enabled when the environment is not darwin (see line 202), keeping it in the 'standard features' breaks the build for darwin currently.
The man pages are only generated when the `documentation` feature is
activated (sphinx is found). Otherwise no files are installed in `$man`
and the output is not created.
