This change enables static compilation with glibc in a multilib setup. For
building a nix shell the output can now be referenced as follows:
devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {
packages = [
pkgs.glibc_multi.static
];
};
In the implementation I was forced to make two design decisions:
1. The directory `$static/lib64` has to be a "real" directory and not a symlink.
Otherwise, the path to this directory is not added to $NIX_LDFLAGS, which in
turn causes the files to not be visible to gcc and ld during the build
process (for details see `pkgs/build-support/bintools-wrapper/setup-hook.sh`
line 16).
2. The directories `$static/lib` and `$static/lib64` have to contain symlinks
to both the files used for static and for dynamic linking (i.e. the outputs
of `static` and `out` of the 32 and 64 bit variant of glibc). Without this,
dynamic linking still works, however the resulting binaries will segfault.
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.

Our gcc_multi and glibc_multi expressions merge together a
32-bit-targeted and 64-bit-targeted gcc. However they do not thread
through the passthru.libgcc from these merged gccs.
This commit corrects that.
It also extends passthru.libgcc to allow a *list* rather than just a
single outpath.
Resolves part of #221891 (at least getting it back to the error
message it gave before).
