The build.rs script shipped with evdev-sys attempts to detect cross
compilation and uses a completely different codepath which does a
`git fetch` inside the build script. This doesn't work in nixpkgs.
This PR adds a `touch libevdev/.git` to trick the `build.rs` into
thinking that it is not necessary to do a `git fetch`.
Thanks to @figsoda for finding this more-elegant solution to the
problem (my original solution needed to patch `build.rs`):

Tested on:
- [x] `aarch64-linux` (cross from `x86_64-linux`)
Without this change, the `--os` and `--arch` switches are disregarded
for operations involving `skopeo inspect` invocations. This means that,
for example, one cannot fetch Linux images while on macOS.
Unlike most other trivial builders, writeShellApplication has a
relatively heavy checkphase that invokes shellcheck. On my system,
a small writeShellApplication takes over 1 second to build.
This PR allows substitutions and stops preferring local builds for
writeShellApplication.
When authoring #220966, I missed that the `//` would take effect solely
in the else branch, fixing hledger-check-fancyassertions, but not
tests.writers.bin.haskell.
The reason is that we can not expect the extended logic run on git
dependencies starting from Cargo 1.68 to be reproducible in future
versions, and thus the output hash would not be sufficiently stable.

Since we grep for 'workspace', it's possible the script ends up running
on a Cargo.toml that has the word 'workspace' in a comment, but does not
actually use workspaces
This allows packages that require several dotnet versions to build (like
BeatSaberModManager) to properly depend on the dotnet-sdk specific deps.
This in turns avoids having to regenerate the deps of those packages
after each dotnet-sdk update.
This also changes nuget-to-nix to accept a file with a list of
exclusions instead of a folder.
Rust 1.64.0 added support for workspace inheritance, which allows
for crates to inherit values such as dependency version constraints or
package metadata information from their workspaces [0].
This works by having workspace members specify a value as a table, with
`workspace` set to true. Thus, supporting this in importCargoLock is as
simple as walking the crate's Cargo.toml, replacing inherited values
with their workspace counterpart.
This is also what a forthcoming Cargo release will do for `cargo vendor` [1],
but we can get ahead of it ;)

The command
```
nix-build -A tests.trivial-builders.references --show-trace
```
fails eval with
```
in job ‘nixpkgs.tests.trivial-builders.references’:
error: The option `meta.description' does not exist. Definition values:
- In `makeTest parameters': "Run the Nixpkgs trivial builders tests"
```
because `meta.description` and `meta.license` are not valid for
`nixosTest`s (they are valid for `mkDerivation` of course).
This has been causing Hydra eval failures:
https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/pr-209870-gcc-external-bootstrap#tabs-errors
Let's fix eval by removing these attributes.
