downloads.sourceforge.net is the official way to download tarballs from
SourceForge. However, it is reported as unreliable due to SF's weird
load balancing system.
This commit gives the official mirror utmost priority, and will use
other configured mirrors (which may be temporary) as a fallback only
when the official one can't be reached/download fails/hangs.

- Fix a bug in the script which prevented it from finding its helper script.
- Automatically redirect the output of the script to make it even easier
to use.
- Update from Applications 16.04.2 to 16.04.3.
- Remove the version number from the directory storing the Applications
Nix expressions. It is not necessary to version the Nix expressions
now that we keep only one version in Nixpkgs.
- Fix a bug in generate-kde-applications.sh which prevented it from
finding its helper script.
- Automatically redirect the output of generate-kde-applications.sh to
make the update script even easier to use.

Minor OTP releases (and their manpages) are not available for dowload at
http://erlang.org/download
But e.g.:
- 18.3.1 contains an important fix for mnesia
- 18.3.1-18.3.4 has a lot of SSL/TLS fixes
So we have to fetch from GitHub and build everything ourselves.
Also replace explicit path patching with upstream patches:
- https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1023
- https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1103 - with this patch it's now
possible to build erlang in sandboxed mode
For this package to be useful you need to wrap it in a fhs-user-env and/or
create a nixos module. Previous version had become completely broken/useless
though.
Fixed for all available 4.x series kernels.
From CVE-2016-5829:
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the hiddev_ioctl_usage function
in drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 allow
local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified
other impact via a crafted (1) HIDIOCGUSAGES or (2) HIDIOCSUSAGES ioctl
call.
