Fixes `pkgsCross.musl64.llvmPackages_16.clang.cc` on `x86_64-linux`,
which used to fail with `/bin/sh: clang-tblgen: not found`.
Same hack is used in other projects:

In the default `fixupPhase` the output of `substituteAllStream` is
streamed to setup-hook.
`stdenv.cc.bintools.overrideAttrs { NIX_DEBUG = 6; }`
With `NIX_DEBUG` contains:
```
@expandResponseParams@ -> /nix/store/yl01rd58vp4m8bbhkihpk132cprfmx6f-expand-response-params/bin/expand-response-params
...
```
```

Makes overrideAttrs usable in the same way that `override` can be used.
It allows the first argument of `overrideAttrs` to be either a function
or an attrset, instead of only a function:
hello.overrideAttrs (old: { postBuild = "echo hello"; })
hello.overrideAttrs { postBuild = "echo hello"; }
Previously only the first example was possible.

passAsFile passes the values of Nix bindings to the builder as
files, so if those values contained references, they wouldn't end up
in the inputDerivation output. To fix that, append the contents of
every such passed file to the output.
We only have shell builtins in this derivation, so we can't use cat.
The only way I know of appending the contents of one file to another
using only shell builtins is as I've done here, but it requires
putting the contents of the file on echo's argv. This might end up
causing problems with large files. Regardless, I think we should try
this, as a failure is better than silently producing an incorrect
result like the previous behavior.
`nix-2.4+` automatically filters `__contentAddressed` out of the
environment. But not `nix-2.3`. This make `.drv` to differ between
unset and `__contentAddressed = false` derivations.
This change makes them equal by filtering out `__contentAddressed`
unless it's set to `true`.
The NIX_LIB64|32_IN_SELF_RPATH environment variables control whether
to add lib64 and lib32 to rpaths. However, they're set depending
on the build paltform, not the target platform and thus their values
are incorrect for for cross-builds.
On the other hand, setting them according to the build platform introduce
pointless differences in build outputs; see #221350 for details.
This change fixes the issues by boldly removes the NIX_LIB*_IN_SELF_RPATH
facility altogether, in the hope that it is no longer necessary. They
were introduced in 2009, long before nixpkgs had good support for
cross-builds.
Fixes#221350

You can't just `lib.filter _ lib.systems.all` -- that throws away
important information, leading to nixpkgs disagreeing with itself
like this:
```
$ NIXPKGS_ALLOW_BROKEN=1 nix-instantiate . -A pkgsStatic.systemd
error: Package ‘systemd-252.5’ in ... is only supported on ... x86_64-linux but not on requested x86_64-linux, refusing to evaluate.
```
After:
```
$ NIXPKGS_ALLOW_BROKEN=1 nix-instantiate . -A pkgsStatic.systemd
error: Package ‘systemd-252.5’ in ... is not available on the requested hostPlatform:
hostPlatform.config = "x86_64-unknown-linux-musl"

package.meta.badPlatforms = [

}
]
, refusing to evaluate.
```
The primary motivating example is openssl:
Before the change full package build took 1m54s minutes.
After the change full package build takes 59s.
About a 2x speedup.
The difference is visible because openssl builds hundreds of manpages
spawning a perl process per manual in `install` phase. Such a workload
is very easy to parallelize.
Another example would be `autotools`+`libtool` based build system where
install step requires relinking. The more binaries there are to relink
the more gain it will be to do it in parallel.
The change enables parallel installs by default only for buiilds that
already have parallel builds enabled. There is a high chance those build
systems already handle parallelism well but some packages will fail.
Consistently propagated the enableParallelBuilding to:
- cmake (enabled by default, similar to builds)
- ninja (set parallelism explicitly, don't rely on default)
- bmake (enable when requested)
- scons (enable when requested)
- meson (set parallelism explicitly, don't rely on default)
- waf (set parallelism explicitly, don't rely on default)
- qmake-4/5/6 (enable by default, similar to builds)
- xorg (always enable, similar to builds)
This was disabled here: b86e62d30d (diff-282a02cc3871874f16401347d8fadc90d59d7ab11f6a99eaa5173c3867e1a160)
h/t to @teh: b86e62d30d (commitcomment-77916294)
for pointing out that the failure that @matthewbauer was
seeing was caused by the `separate-debug-info.sh` `build-id` length
requirement that #146275 will relax
`lld` has had `--build-id` support dating back to LLVM4: https://reviews.llvm.org/D18091
This predates every `llvmPackages_` version currently in nixpkgs (and
certainly every version actually still used in `useLLVM` stdenvs) so
with the previous commit (asking `ld` for sufficiently long SHA1 hashes)
I think we can safely enable `separateDebugInfo` when using LLVM
bintools.
