Current, the `cabal2nix` derivation contains both the executable, and a wrapper
that adds `nix` and `nix-prefetch-scripts`, which are required for some
features.
However, when calling `callCabal2nix` to create a derivation from a cabal file
at evaluation time,
these features are not actually used, but the huge closure of
`nix-prefetch-scripts` (which includes multiple vcs, as well as python and perl)
still needs to be fetched.
This commit splits cabal2nix into a lightweight version that is a standalone
static binary (`cabal2nix-unwrapped`), and a wrapper that includes the proper
dependencies in the path for full usage of the command line
utility (`cabal2nix`).
This commit also switches to the default ghc, to reduce the likelyhood of
building a different ghc when calling `callCabal2nix`.
The `src.meta` attribute does not exist, and even if it did the derivation does
not have a `rec` to reference it. This appears to be breaking all ofBorg meta
evaluation checks:

This branch currently seems an almost adequate replacement for gtk2 claws-mail,
except that clicking links in the web view opens them in the email window even
when "open links with external browser" is enabled.

This patch partially fixes#81985.
Cross-compiling rtl-sdr is possible using this patch.
Use nix build -f <nixpkgs-path> -A pkgsCross.raspberryPi.rtl-sdr to build rtl-sdr.
The error that occured when trying to do this before was as follows:
/nix/store/ldb2v2z0198abkp2minr9a9vz5np4mn4-cmake-3.16.4-armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/nix-support/setup-hook: line 107: cmake: command not found
- Reverting the version of Starlette as FastAPI can not use anything
greater than 0.12.12. FastAPI is Starlette's only dependent.
- Use fetchurl instead of fetchPypi as this is now the preferred
method. This also makes the tests pass and, thus, the build, which
was failing.
