8929989614 lib: Clean up how linux and gcc config is specified
The `platform` field is pointless nesting: it's just stuff that happens
to be defined together, and that should be an implementation detail.

This instead makes `linux-kernel` and `gcc` top level fields in platform
configs. They join `rustc` there [all are optional], which was put there
and not in `platform` in anticipation of a change like this.

`linux-kernel.arch` in particular also becomes `linuxArch`, to match the
other `*Arch`es.

The next step after is this to combine the *specific* machines from
`lib.systems.platforms` with `lib.systems.examples`, keeping just the
"multiplatform" ones for defaulting.

14fbf575ec make-initrd: various improvements
- Generate a link to the initramfs file with an appropriate file
  extension, guessed based on the compressor by default
- Use correct metadata in u-boot images if generated, up to now this
  was hardcoded to gzip and would silently generate an erroneous image
  if another compressor was specified
- Document all the parameters
- Improve cross-building compatibility, by allowing passing either a
  string as before, or a function taking a package set and returning the
  path to a compressor in the "compressor" argument of the
  function.
- Support more compression algorithms
- Place compressor executable function and arguments in passthru, for
  reuse when appending initramfses

b086b342bb build-support/make-initrd: Don't derive derivation name from file name
not all valid file names are valid derivation names. This can cause
troubles when, for example, trying to place systemd template unit
files, which contain an '@' in their name,  in an initrd.

Fixes #53987

Want to get this out of here for 18.09, so it can be deprecated

0d9f2f0bb4 platforms.nix: Clean up more 'uboot' legacy
For a while now, the only thing the 'uboot' attribute does is to tell
whether to add ubootTools to kernel/initrd builds. That can be
determined with platform.kernelTarget == "uImage" just as well.

5a8147479e make-initrd: create reproducible initrds
To achieve reproducible results, `cpio` archive members are added in
sorted order and inodes renumbered.

The `cpio-clean.pl` script is made obsolete by setting mtimes via
`touch` & using `cpio --reproducible`.  Suggested by @dezgeg in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/21273#issuecomment-268116605.

Note that using `--reproducible` means that initial ramdisk creation now
requires at least `cpio` version 2.12 (released in 2015).

acd4299e75 Merge branch 'master' into stdenv-updates
Conflicts:
	pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/chromium/default.nix

Merge conflicts seemed trivial, but a look from viric and aszlig would be nice.

Likewise for propagatedBuildNativeInputs, etc.  "buildNativeInputs"
sounds like an imperative rather than a noun phrase.

11aa65c28a Simplified much more the expressions for cross building and multiplatform.
I introduce the new nixpkgs parameter "platform", defaulting to "pc",
which was before defined as an attribute of nixpkgs.

I made the crossSystem nixpkgs attribute set parameter contain its own 'platform'.

This allows cross-building a kernel for a given crossSystem.platform in a non-PC
platform.

The actual native platform can be taken from stdenv.platform, and this way we also
avoid the constant passing of 'platform' to packages for platform-dependant builds
(kernel, initrd, ...).

I will update nixos accordingly to these changes, for non-PC platforms to work.

I think we are gaining on flexibility and clearness. I could cross build succesfully
an ultrasparc kernel and a mipsel kernel on PC. But since this change, I should be able
to do this also in non-PC.

Before this change, there was no possibility of distinguishing the "target platform" or
the "native build platform" when cross building, being the single "platform" attribute
always interpreted as target platform.

The platform is a quite relevant attribute set, as it determines the linuxHeaders used
(in the case, by now the only one supported, of linux targets).

The platform attributes are quite linux centric still. Let's hope for more generality to come.

4b27d28701 Porting changes from stdenv-updates into this branch.
This comes from:
svn diff  ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.

trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.
