The fontconfig autotools build attempts to check for va_copy with a
test program. This doesn't work cross, but we can hardcode the result.
It may be best to use meson in the future.
This commit was created by a combination of scripts and tools:
- an ast-grep script to prefix things in meta with `lib.`,
- a modified nixf-diagnose / nixf combination to remove unused `with
lib;`, and
- regular nixfmt.

They are not doing anything right now. This is in preparation for their
complete removal from the tree.
Note: several changes that affect the derivation inputs (e.g. removal of
references to stub paths in build instructions) were left out. They will
be cleaned up the next iteration and will require special care.
Note: this PR is a result of a mix of ugly regex (not AST) based
automation and some manual labor. For reference, the regex automation
part was hacked in: https://github.com/booxter/nix-clean-apple_sdk

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.

In preparation for the deprecation of `stdenv.isX`.
These shorthands are not conducive to cross-compilation because they
hide the platforms.
Darwin might get cross-compilation for which the continued usage of `stdenv.isDarwin` will get in the way
One example of why this is bad and especially affects compiler packages
https://www.github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343059
There are too many files to go through manually but a treewide should
get users thinking when they see a `hostPlatform.isX` in a place where it
doesn't make sense.

The incompatibility does not seem to exist any more: programs linked against fc 2.12
on fc 2.14 system seem to at least display text, even while printing tons of errors
(as long as you generate fc cache manually), and same thing the other way around.
Hopefully it will not be an issue in the future.
This reverts commit edf2541f02.
Turns out lot of software (including Chromium) use bundled fontconfig
so we either need to wrap every one of those, or re-introduce the global
unversioned config. The latter is easier but weakens hermetic configs.
But perhaps those are not really worth the effort. Given that programs
linked against fc 2.12.6 on fc 2.13.92 system seem to at least display text,
even while printing tons of errors (as long as you generate fc cache manually),
and same thing the other way around, hopefully it will not be an issue in the future.
We give up on the hermetic configs in exchange for getting rid of lot of complexity.
ITS rules are used for extracting translatable strings and they have
been moved to external files in 2.13.92 so they are not needed in
the config files themselves.
Removing them also cuts down on errors/warnings produced when using
older versions of fontconfig (< 2.12.92). Now it will only complain
about the description element but that is fortunately just a warning,
not errors like the ones caused by the its attributes.
Thanks to this, we can change the config version in NixOS module
back to 2.11 allowing us to re-use the 2.13/2.14 configs for apps
built against 2.12 fontconfig.
Falling back to unversioned `/etc/fonts/conf.d` when versioned one does not exist
is problematic since it only occurs on non-NixOS systems and those are likely
to have a different version of fontconfig. When those versions use incompatible
elements in the config, apps using fontconfig will crash.
Instead, we are now falling back to the in-package `fonts.conf` file that loads
both the versioned global `conf.d` directory and the in-package `conf.d` since using
upstream settings on non-NixOS is preferable to not being able to use apps there.
In fact, we would not even need to link `fonts.conf`, as the in-package `fonts.conf`
will be always used unless someone creates the global one manually (the option is still
retained if one wants to write a custom NixOS module and to avoid unnecessary stat call on NixOS).
Additionally, since the `fonts.conf` will always load `conf.d` from the package, we no longer
need to install them to sytem `/etc` in the module. This needed some mucking with `50-user.conf`
which disables configs in user directories (a good thing IMO, NixOS module will turn it back on)
but otherwise, it is cleaner. The files are still prioritized by their name, regardless of their location.
