bzip2 has been unmaintained for a long time. For a while now, there has
been maintainership, resulting in the release of 1.0.8. At the same
time, there is now a master branch (version 1.1.x) which supports meson
and cmake as build systems.
This commit adds the current HEAD of the master branch (1.1.x). In the
future we may want to use this one instead of the older and patched
1.0.6 we currently have.

This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads:
Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot
use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that
are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files.
This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this
package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use
fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale
hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing
overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at
the bottom).
The PR was accidentally merged into master instead of staging and thus reverted. Now, in staging, we can re-revert it.
This reverts commit 4df2f78ec72f6a8d2fe286cd34eb3acdfcac81f3.
Should go to staging instead.
This reverts commit f8d9f59abe02ce97f621da24723156934a54611e, reversing
changes made to b27a19d5bf799f581a8afc2b554f178e58c1f524.
The previous CMake version did not run any tests, the current version
tries to run all tests (I could not await their completion), and the
last GNU Make version ran `make -C tests shortest` which ran only
playTests.sh, so I've enabled only the playTests test.
without this fix, binaries report their version number as "vnone"
which for example stops `image_optim` from using `advpng` (refuses
to use it not being able to tell what version number it has)
The release tarball is no longer available at the specified URL, so
building from git. Also, the gnulib in the release tarball was too old
for our recent glibc version.
