aleksana 571c71e6f7 treewide: migrate packages to pkgs/by-name, take 1
We are migrating packages that meet below requirements:

1. using `callPackage`
2. called path is a directory
3. overriding set is empty (`{ }`)
4. not containing path expressions other than relative path (to
makenixpkgs-vet happy)
5. not referenced by nix files outside of the directory, other
than`pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix`
6. not referencing nix files outside of the directory
7. not referencing `default.nix` (since it's changed to `package.nix`)
8. `outPath` doesn't change after migration

The tool is here: https://github.com/Aleksanaa/by-name-migrate.

longDescription = ''
This library and tool exists solely because rsync doesn't have file locking.
It's not used like a normal library; you don't link against it, and you
don't have to patch your source code to use it. It's inserted between your
program and its libraries by use of LD_PRELOAD.
For example:
$ env LD_PRELOAD=$(nix-build -A pkgs.flockit)/lib/libflockit.so FLOCKIT_FILE_PREFIX=test rsync SRC DEST
Besides the library a handy executable is provided which can simplify the above to:
$ $(nix-build -A pkgs.flockit)/bin/flockit test rsync SRC DEST
