e6e16bc118 lib.getExe: Do not make assumptions about the main program
Before this commit, getExe assumes that if `meta.mainProgram` is unset,
it has a main program that's named after the package name.

While this is probable, it leads to a bad error when the assumption does
not hold. If the user called `getExe` themselves, they might narrow down
the location of the assumption quite easily, but if that's not the case,
they'll have to go down the rabbit hole to figure out what went wrong.

For example, a NixOS module may use `lib.getExe` on a package-typed option
which is then used in the system configuration. This then typically leads
to a failure *after* deployment, which is bad, and it's quite likely that
the user will debug the package output contents before digging through the
NixOS module, which is bad.
Furthermore the `getExe` call is rather inconspicuous as it does not
contain something like "/bin/foo", which is bad.
Also modules can be hard to read for a newbie, which is bad.

All of this can be avoided by requiring `meta.mainProgram`.
Many packages already have the attribute, and I would expect 80% of
`getExe` usages to be covered by 20% of packages, because plenty of
packages aren't used with `getExe` anyway.

Finally we could make an effort to set `mainProgram` semi-automatically
using `nix-index`.

098c6b0bec check-meta(hasUnsupportedPlatform): use lib.meta.availableOn
`hasUnsupportedPlatform` was not updated with #37395, so it does not
understand attrsets in `meta.[bad]platforms`.  In particular,
attrsets in `meta.badPlatforms` will "fail open" and be ignored.

Let's use `lib.meta.availableOn` instead of duplicating its logic.

Thanks to @alyssais for [noticing][1].

60950f739e lib/meta: add getLicenseFromSpdxId function
Move function spdxLicense, internally used in yarn2nix
to lib/meta.nix, and
rename to getLicenseFromSpdxId

A similar function is implemented in poetry2nix,
but the one originally in yarn2nix seems beter.
since it falls back to an license-like attrset
for mismatched case
instead of a plain string

kexectools: Disable only on RISC-V if Linux.
The isKexecable flag treated Linux without kexec as just a normal
variant, when it really should be treated as a special case incurring
complexity debt to support.

Convert libs to a fixed-point
This does break the API of being able to import any lib file and get
its libs, however I'm not sure people did this.

I made this while exploring being able to swap out docFn with a stub
in #2305, to avoid functor performance problems. I don't know if that
is going to move forward (or if it is a problem or not,) but after
doing all this work figured I'd put it up anyway :)

Two notable advantages to this approach:

1. when a lib inherits another lib's functions, it doesn't
   automatically get put in to the scope of lib
2. when a lib implements a new obscure functions, it doesn't
   automatically get put in to the scope of lib

Using the test script (later in this commit) I got the following diff
on the API:

  + diff master fixed-lib
  11764a11765,11766
  > .types.defaultFunctor
  > .types.defaultTypeMerge
  11774a11777,11778
  > .types.isOptionType
  > .types.isType
  11781a11786
  > .types.mkOptionType
  11788a11794
  > .types.setType
  11795a11802
  > .types.types

This means that this commit _adds_ to the API, however I can't find a
way to fix these last remaining discrepancies. At least none are
_removed_.

Test script (run with nix-repl in the PATH):

  #!/bin/sh

  set -eux

  repl() {
      suff=${1:-}
      echo "(import ./lib)$suff" \
          | nix-repl 2>&1
  }

  attrs_to_check() {
      repl "${1:-}" \
          | tr ';'  $'\n' \
          | grep "\.\.\." \
          | cut -d' ' -f2 \
          | sed -e "s/^/${1:-}./" \
          | sort
  }

  summ() {
      repl "${1:-}" \
          | tr ' ' $'\n' \
          | sort \
          | uniq
  }

  deep_summ() {
      suff="${1:-}"
      depth="${2:-4}"
      depth=$((depth - 1))
      summ "$suff"

      for attr in $(attrs_to_check "$suff" | grep -v "types.types"); do
          if [ $depth -eq 0 ]; then
              summ "$attr" | sed -e "s/^/$attr./"
          else
              deep_summ "$attr" "$depth" | sed -e "s/^/$attr./"
          fi
      done
  }

  (
      cd nixpkgs

      #git add .
      #git commit -m "Auto-commit, sorry" || true
      git checkout fixed-lib
      deep_summ > ../fixed-lib
      git checkout master
      deep_summ > ../master
  )

  if diff master fixed-lib; then
      echo "SHALLOW MATCH!"
  fi

  (
      cd nixpkgs
      git checkout fixed-lib
      repl .types
  )

bd9246b009 treewide: Always use integers for meta.priority
Meta attributes types are now enforce as of commit
90b9719f4f,
so ensure meta.priority is always set to an integer.

This fixes evaluation of `linuxPackages_latest.virtualbox`
(the impetus for this commit)
and other packages that use lowPrio or hiPrio.

e167cf9f21 Make appendToName do the right thing
I.e. append a suffix *before* the version, rather than after.  So we
get "sqlite-interactive-3.8.0.2" instead of
"sqlite-3.8.0.2-interactive".  The latter is broken since nix-env just
sees it the suffix as part of the version, so "nix-env -u" will
happily upgrade "sqlite-3.8.0.2-interactive" to "sqlite-3.9".

8890492872 openjdk: Ugly hack to fix nix-env installation
Nix-env always wants to install all outputs of a derivation, but this
failed for openjdk/openjre because openjdk has some symlinks (such as
bin/java) to openjre.  Also, it prevents installing the openjre
without the openjdk.  So as a workaround, mess with the "outputs"
attribute to fool nix-env.

Also, give openjre a separate name and description.

Fixes #1535.
