GDC 11 was the last version that could bootstrap without a D compiler,
and GDC don’t offer their own binaries any more. GCC 11 is now
end‐of‐life and being removed (as is GCC 12, even).
It’s possible that we could use another distribution’s binary
packages to bootstrap this, or go via our DMD package (it’s
apparently not possible to bootstrap GDC with LDC, but I’m not sure
about DMD), but as nobody has worked on it in the three years since
GCC 12 came out, it seems like interest is limited, and it’s more
of a yak shave than I’m up for right now.
A full from‐source bootstrap chain would of course be nice, but is
more the realm of the minimal bootstrap work than something we’d
want to keep GCC 11 around in the main package set indefinitely for.
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.

`libstdc++` and a few other libraries are comiled with the options
set in `EXTRA_TARGET_FLAGS`. Normally, this is filled form
`EXTRA_FLAGS` inside of `builder.sh`, from which it inherits its
optimization option. For cross compilers `EXTRA_TARGET_FLAGS` is
set by a dedicated function that does not specify any optimization,
leading to sub-par runtime performance of many C++ programs.
I hate the thing too even though I made it, and rather just get rid of
it. But we can't do that yet. In the meantime, this brings us more
inline with autoconf and will make it slightly easier for me to write a
pkg-config wrapper, which we need.
