Starting Cagebreak as X11 client doesn't work anymore as wlroots 0.13
started to require the DRI3 extension which isn't supported by LLVMpipe:

The test broke after updating Cagebreak in #121652 (bf8679ba94).
XWayland still fails for unknown reasons:
Modifiers specified, but DRI is too old
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to create dri screen
libEGL warning: NEEDS EXTENSION: falling back to kms_swrast
glamor: No eglstream capable devices found
glamor: 'wl_drm' not supported
Missing Wayland requirements for glamor GBM backend
Missing Wayland requirements for glamor EGLStream backend
Failed to initialize glamor, falling back to sw

The fallback to software rendering is to be expected but it looks like
XWayland is crashing with "failed to write to XWayland fd: Broken pipe".
While looking at the sphinx package I noticed it was heavily
undermaintained, which is when we noticed nand0p has been inactive for
roughly 18 months. It is therefore prudent to assume they will not be
maintaining their packages, modules and tests.
- Their last contribution to nixpkgs was in 2019/12
- On 2021/05/08 I wrote them an email to the address listed in the
maintainer-list, which they didn't reply to.
- use "with subtest" everywhere
- do more in nix and less in python
- use makeTest directly to define multiple tests instead of one with
multiple nodes -> this enables them to run in parallel
- Thunderbird 68 has been dropped on master.
- gccCrossLibcStdenv has been factored out on staging-next in all-packages.nix, while the file has been re-formatted on master.
AFAIK this is the only reliable way for us to ensure SQLCipher will be
loaded instead of SQLite. It feels like a hack/workaround but according
to the SQLCipher developers [0] "this issue can and should be handled
downstream at the application level: 1. While it may feel like a
workaround, using LD_PRELOAD is a legitimate approach here because it
will substitute the system SQLite with SQLCipher which is the intended
usage model;".
This fixes#108772 for NixOS 20.09 users who upgrade to NixOS 21.05 and
replaces #117555.
For nixos-unstable users this will unfortunately break everything again
so we should add a script to ease the transition (in a separate commit
so that we can revert it for NixOS 21.05).

Well, this should test if the database is encrypted but currently it is
still unencrypted and we need to notice if this behaviour changes in the
future (as it will cause data loss, see e.g. #108772).
Anyway, this doesn't really matter for security reasons but we need this
test to prevent data loss (unfortunately Signal-Desktop and SQLCipher
handle this badly... :o).
This test is important to confirm that $WAYLAND_DISPLAY is correctly
imported via "dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd" which is
done by default since #122605 (00e8e5b123).
It ensures that the gnome3-pinentry pop-ups work as expected to avoid
regressions like #119445 (which also broke screen sharing).
config.boot.kernelPackages.wireguard evaluates to null on machine
closure having a > 5.6 Linux kernels, hence making the evaluation of
this test fail.
Wireguard is now part of the mainline Linux kernel, we do not need to
to add it via a additional kernel module anymore for this test.
Annoyed with the interference of the python formatting of
generated code (see #72964), I took matters into my own hands
as maintainer of dockerTools.
Afterwards, I've created a PR, hoping to unstuck the discussion.
@aszlig took notice and thanks to his python ecosystem knowledge,
the testing efforts of @blaggacao and @Ma27, and a sense of
shared suffering and comraderie we were able to change the
situation for the better in #122201.
Now, we have a proper linter that actually helps contributors,
so it's time to turn it back on again.
I'm glad we could make it happen this quickly!
Thanks!
This reverts commit 4035049af3.
