libluv was recently converted to a pure cmake package and now there's
nothing lua related in the build. However an old workaround to force
linking against lua on darwin remains. Clean this up.
The "0.5.0-1" rockspec on luarocks has a bug, resulting in it pulling
the current git master version, which is what we have effectively been
using.
Given that 0.5.0-1 is the latest release, is 6 years old, and that there
have been some bug fixes since then, we do actually want to be using the
git master version, but we also want to be using the correct rockspec
(particularly as alt-getopt has been replaced by argparse in the `moon`
binary).
- luarocks-nix: bumped to pass args too, `package_X = callPackage ...`.
It allows to remove the annoying `with self`.
This new version disables tests (because broken) and now emits derivation
with a callPackage in front.
- replaced X.override with lib.overrideLuarocks, it should be used
whenever buildInputs/extraVariables is changed since it impacts the
generated luarocks config.
Once structured attributes are in, it will be easier to have the
luarocks config generated by a hook and we probably will be able to
replace all overrideLuarocks by overrideAttrs.
- moved lua hooks to a specific folder as I foresee to add more
- moved generateLuarocksConfig to lib
- fix getLuaPath
- removed the useless rockspecDir
Goal is to improve separation between packages and utilities.
Can help with autocompletion/navigate nixpkgs faster.
Also it will help standardize how LUA_PATH is exported across packages,
so that one can more easily make lua changes across nixpkgs (for
instance changing where lua modules are installed).
Upstream is working on some major deprecations, being on a HEAD commit
will not be a good plan going forward.
Remove double `busted` in `checkInputs` - keep only 1.
Trying to reuse the update scripts used by kakoune/vim to provide the
user with an unified convergence. Some stuff doesn't work yet (parallel
download, caching) but I (anyone else welcome to try too) will improve
it in other PRs.

pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.

Since the last time I ran this script, the Repology API changed, so I had to
adapt the script used in the previous PR. The new API should be more robust, so
overall this is a positive (no more grepping the error messages for our relevant
data but just a nice json structure).
Here's the new script I used:
```sh
curl https://repology.org/api/v1/repository/nix_unstable/problems \
| jq -r '.[] | select(.type == "homepage_permanent_https_redirect") | .data | "s@\(.url)@\(.target)@"' \
| sort | uniq | tee script.sed
find -name '*.nix' | xargs -P4 -- sed -f script.sed -i
```
I will also add this script to `maintainers/scripts`.
