b7f4bda282 treewide: *Phase(s)? variables are optional
If these aren't defined, the stdenv defaults are used in the `*Phase`
case, or no extra phases are done, in the `*Phases` case.

2811b032d6 treewide: Make still dont* Variables are optional in most cases
Go beyond the obvious setup hooks now, with a bit of sed, with a skipped case:

 - cc-wrapper's `dontlink`, because it already is handled.

Also, in nix files escaping was manually added.

f7e28bf5d8 Split buildPythonPackage into setup hooks
This commit splits the `buildPythonPackage` into multiple setup hooks.

Generally, Python packages are built from source to wheels using `setuptools`.
The wheels are then installed with `pip`. Tests were often called with
`python setup.py test` but this is less common nowadays. Most projects
now use a different entry point for running tests, typically `pytest`
or `nosetests`.

Since the wheel format was introduced more tools were built to generate these,
e.g. `flit`. Since PEP 517 is provisionally accepted, defining a build-system
independent format (`pyproject.toml`), `pip` can now use that format to
execute the correct build-system.

In the past I've added support for PEP 517 (`pyproject`) to the Python
builder, resulting in a now rather large builder. Furthermore, it was not possible
to reuse components elsewhere. Therefore, the builder is now split into multiple
setup hooks.

The `setuptoolsCheckHook` is included now by default but in time it should
be removed from `buildPythonPackage` to make it easier to use another hook
(curently one has to pass in `dontUseSetuptoolsCheck`).
