After final improvements to the official formatter implementation, this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it. This is part of the implementation of RFC 166. Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months. This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged. Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest, which should not cause as many conflicts. A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here should also stay formatted. This commit was automatically created and can be verified using nix-build |

To update Elm:
Modify revision in ./update.sh and run it
Notes about the build process:
The elm binary embeds a piece of pre-compiled elm code, used by 'elm reactor'. This means that the build process for 'elm' effectively executes 'elm make'. that in turn expects to retrieve the elm dependencies of that code (elm/core, etc.) from package.elm-lang.org, as well as a cached bit of metadata (versions.dat).
The makeDotElm function lets us retrieve these dependencies in the standard nix way. we have to copy them in (rather than symlink) and make them writable because the elm compiler writes other .dat files alongside the source code. versions.dat was produced during an impure build of this same code; the build complains that it can't update this cache, but continues past that warning.
Finally, we set ELM_HOME to point to these pre-fetched artifacts so that the default of ~/.elm isn't used.
