Python 3.4 will receive it's final patch release in March 2019 and there won't
be any releases anymore after that, so also not during NixOS 2019.03.
Python 3.4 is not used anymore in Nixpkgs. In any case, migrating code from
3.4 to 3.4+ is trivial.
This also updates the bootstrap tool builder to LLVM 5, but not the ones
we actually use for bootstrap. I'll make that change in a subsequent commit
so as to provide traceable provenance of the bootstrap tools.

Semi-automatic update generated by https://github.com/ryantm/nixpkgs-update tools. This update was made based on information from https://repology.org/metapackage/pciutils/versions.
* mesa: more include fixes
mostly from void-linux (thanks!)
* npth: 1.5 -> 1.6
minor bump
* boost167: Add lockfree next_prior patch
* stdenv: cleanup darwin bootstrapping
Also gets rid of the full python and some of it's dependencies in the
stdenv build closure.
* Revert "pciutils: use standardized equivalent for canonicalize_file_name"
This reverts commit f8db20fb3ae382eba1ba2b160fe24739f43c0bd7.
Patching should no longer be needed with 3.6.1.

* libffi: don't check on darwin
libffi usages in stdenv broken darwin. We need to disable doCheck for that case.
* "rm $out/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache" -> hicolor-icon-theme setup-hook
* python.pkgs.pytest: setupHook to prevent creation of .pytest-cache folder, fixes#40273
When `py.test` was run with a folder as argument, it would not only
search for tests in that folder, but also create a .pytest-cache folder.
Not only is this state we don't want, but it was also causing
collisions.
* parity-ui: fix after merge
* python.pkgs.pytest-flake8: disable test, fix build
* Revert "meson: 0.46.1 -> 0.47.0"
With meson 0.47.0 (or 0.47.1, or git)
things are very wrong re:rpath handling
resulting in at best missing libs but
even corrupt binaries :(.
When we run patchelf it masks the problem
by removing obviously busted paths.
Which is probably why this wasn't noticed immediately.
Unfortunately the binary already
has a long series of paths scribbled
in a space intended for a much smaller string;
in my testing it was something like
lengths were 67 with 300+ written to it.
I think we've reported the relevant issues upstream,
but unfortunately it appears our patches
are what introduces the overwrite/corruption
(by no longer being correct in what they assume)
This doesn't look so bad to fix but it's
not something I can spend more time on
at the moment.
--
Interestingly the overwritten string data
(because it is scribbled past the bounds)
remains in the binary and is why we're suddenly
seeing unexpected references in various builds
-- notably this is is the reason we're
seeing the "extra-utils" breakage
that entirely crippled NixOS on master
(and probably on staging before?).
Fixes#43650.
This reverts commit 305ac4dade5758c58e8ab1666ad0197fd305828d.

upstream issue:
https://bugs.python.org/issue31940
There are two PR's proposed to fix this,
but both seem to be stalling waiting for review.
I previously used what appears to be the favored
of the two approaches[1] to fix this,
with plan of keeping it musl-only until PR was merged.
However, while writing up a commit message
explaining the problem and why it needed fixing...
I investigated a bit and found it increasingly
hard to justify anything other than ...
simply not using lchmod.
Here's what I found:
* lchmod is non-POSIX, seems BSD-only these days
* Functionality of lchmod isn't supported on Linux
* best scenario on Linux would be an error
* POSIX does provide lchmod-esque functionality
with fchmodat(), which AFAICT is generally preferred.
* Python intentionally overlooks fchmodat()[2]
electing instead to use lchmod() behavior
as a proxy for whether fchmodat() "works".
I'm not sure I follow their reasoning...
* both glibc and musl provide lchmod impls:
* glibc returns ENOSYS "not implemented"
* musl implements lchmod with fchmodat(),
and so returns EOPNOTSUPP "op not supported"
* Python doesn't expect EOPNOTSUPP from lchmod,
since it's not valid on BSD's lchmod.
* "configure" doesn't actually check lchmod usefully,
instead checks for glibc preprocessor defines
to indicate if the function is just a stub[3];
somewhat fittingly, if the magic macros are defined
then the next line of the C source is "choke me",
causing the compiler to trip, fall, and point
a finger at whatever is near where it ends up.
(somewhat amusing, but AFAIK effective way to get an error :P)
I'm leaving out links to threads on mailing lists and such,
but for now I hope I've convinced you
(or to those reading commit history: explained my reasons)
that this is a bit of a mess[4].
And so instead of making a big mess messier,
and with hopes of never thinking about this again,
I propose we simply tell Python "don't use lchmod" on Linux.
