Subject: [PATCH] stdenv: deprecate `is*` aliases in favor of
 `hostPlatform.is*`

These shorthands hide the platform distinction and are unfit for
cross-compilation. Wrap them in `lib.warn` so each access prints a
deprecation notice, and gate them on `config.allowAliases` so they
can be removed entirely.
