This goal of this change is to make nix-update-script work out of the
box with packages built using `buildPerlPackage`.
Explicitly setting `src` in the `stdenv.mkDerivation` call currently
causes `builtins.unsafeGetAttrPos "src" <package>` to point to
`pkgs/development/perl-modules/generic/default.nix` for packages built
using `buildPerlPackage`. If the result of this expression is not
`null`, nix-update will try to update `src` of `<package>` in this
file [1], which will fail for obvious reasons.
A good example of this happening is with the pgformatter package.
Removing the explicit `inherit src` allows
`builtins.unsafeGetAttrPos "src" <package>` to point to the file where
`<package>.src` is actually defined, fixing nix-update runs for
affected packages.
Git history doesn't provide any indication as to why this argument was
introduced in the first place, so I hope it's fine to remove it. The
only difference in evaluation will be for calls to `buildPerlPackage`
without `src`: In these cases, `src` will be unset instead of `null`.

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.

Currently `buildPerlPackage` prefixes the Perl version to the package's
`pname`, which results in `nix run` not being able to work for any
packages build with it out of the box. This commit corrects that and
phases out the ability to set `name` directly, as well as refactors the
code to not require `cleanedAttrs`.
Because perl packages are prefixed with the perl version, it means that
the `lib.getExe` heuristic will never point to the binary name. So we
provide the meta.mainProgram that overrides that, using the original
pname or parsed name. It's not perfect but should yield better results
already.
This reverts commit d0bad145f5.
We don't need this any more, because the generated timestamps are
always set to 1970-01-01.
Reverting this will mean we get man pages for perl programs for free,
because those are generally part of the `install' target.
This involved:
* Installing miniperl as $dev/bin/perl
* Setting miniperl to take INC from
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}cross_perl/${version} as well as
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}/${version}/${runtimeArch}, in that
order. miniperl taking from runtimeArch is not really correct, but
it works in some pure-perl cases (e.g. Config.pm) and can be
overridden with the cross_perl variant.
* Installing perl-cross's stubs into
$dev/lib/perl5/cross_perl/${version}
* Patching MakeMaker.pm to gracefully degrade (very slightly) if B.pm
can't be loaded, which it can't in cross-compilation.
* Passing the right build-time and runtime perls to Makefile.PL
... after auto-removing some kinds of files by default.
In some cases I let them be removed and in others I let them be put into
$docdev. That was more due to general indecisiveness on this question
than any reasons in the particular cases.
- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
* Remove explicit setting of PERL5LIB.
* Use the generic Perl builder for the BerkeleyDB and XML::Parser
modules.
* Prefix all names of Perl modules with `perl-' (in the generic Perl
builder).

* MythTV: the setup program works :-).
* Added XmlTV. This requires a huge number of Perl modules, so...
* Added a generic builder for Perl modules. I'm lazy so the modules
are defined directly in all-packages-generic.nix. The generic
builder also patches Perl scripts to include a hard-coded Perl
module search path (i.e., similar to an RPATH in ELF executables).
