I am taking the non-invasive parts of #110914 to hopefully help out with #111988.
In particular:
- Use `lib.makeScopeWithSplicing` to make the `darwin` package set have
a proper `callPackage`.
- Adjust Darwin `stdenv`'s overlays keeping things from the previous
stage to not stick around too much.
- Expose `binutilsNoLibc` / `darwin.binutilsNoLibc` to hopefully get us
closer to a unified LLVM and GCC bootstrap.
This reduces the amount of packages that are required to use
builtins.fetchurl to fetch. Without this change, mime-types
would not be able to use fetchzip when mime-types support is
added to python3.
Python 3.9 has a new module `zoneinfo` which requires tzdata. By default
it searches TZPATH for folders containing `zoneinfo`.
This commit makes the dependency on tzdata pure.
The package set is an attribute of the interpreter. The function to
build an environment (`buildEnv`/`withPackages`) is part of the
interpreter. The interpreter is passed to itself, and needs to be
updated when overridden.
For cross-compilation we splice the package set, and for that the
various `build/host` interpreters and sets need to be available. We
select these currently through `pkgs.${pythonAttr}`. The `pythonAttr`
attribute was not fixed for `pythonFull`.

We need a better solution for this because this is very brittle.
When overriding versions of build tools injected via hooks
`packageOverrides` was not taken into account and 2 incompatible
versions of the same package (`wheel` in this case) ended up in the
closure, causing the builds to fail.
As part of the splicing the build/host/target combinations of the interpreter
need to be passed around internally. The chosen names were not very clear,
implying they were package sets whereas actually there were derivations.
fixes c88f3adb17, which resulted in
qt 5.15 being used in pythonPackages, despite 5.14 being
declared, and adapts qutebrowser accordingly.
'callPackage { pkgs = pkgs // { … }; }' does not work, because
it does not take into account the recursive evaluation of nixpkgs:
`pkgs/development/interpreters/python/default.nix` calls
`pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` with `callPackage`.
Thus, even if the former gets passed the updated `pkgs`,
the latter always gets passed `pkgs.pkgs`.
For the change in the qt5 version to apply consistently, 'pkgs.extend'
must be used.
qutebrowser only used the right qt5 version (5.15) because all
pythonPackages used it anyway.
