This doesn't depend on a kernel version, and it's depended on by other
tools that don't depend on a kernel version. They shouldn't have to
reach into linuxPackages for an arbitrary kernel version to get it.
This is an API-stable alias for "systemtap *just* for creating trace
points". The use case for this is that the main systemtap package has an
annoyingly large closure size of Linux version dependent stuff, which is
unnecessary for building trace points.
I am adding this after needing the same override for Lix.
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.

with structuredAttrs lists will be bash arrays which cannot be exported
which will be a issue with some patches and some wrappers like cc-wrapper
this makes it clearer that NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE must be a string as lists
in env cause a eval failure

pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
- shorter description
- move systemtap into linuxPackages
this is only necessary for the wrapper
systemtap also has a dyninsn backend to instrument userspace apps
we could experiment with other platforms, using this
- get rid of stow build dependency
- update version
- minor cleanup steps
