Various packages under minimal-bootstrap explicitly use the musl gcc
wrapper (especially the *-static packages).
In #494106, the desire is to allow these packages to run on a host
platform which may differ from the bootstrap seed platform. That host
platform may be a non-musl platform, and furthermore musl may not even
be available on the desired host architecture.
This change aims to make the packages more generic wrt libc. It is
extracted out of #494106.
Disable optional gawk features not used by the bootstrap path and prune installed helper files, headers, libraries, documentation, locale data, and awk library scripts. The smoke test now covers a simple awk program, not only --version.
Size impact against upstream/staging:
- gawk-static closure: 6.001 MiB -> 1.549 MiB (-4.453 MiB)

By default, stdenv runs configure using --disable-dependency-tracking.
This commit adds the same flag to most manual invocations of autotools
configure scripts in minimal-bootstrap.
However, the flag does not apply to musl & zlib, which come with
handwritten configure scripts. It also does not apply to Python, where
the dependency tracking feature is already disabled in automake config.
