We keep the latest minor release of each one of the last 3 major releases,
which currently are GHC versions 8.2.2, 8.4.4, and 8.6.1. We also have
ghc-HEAD, but this doesn't count.
Dropping these compilers implied that we have to drop the corresponding
versions of ghcjs, too. We can also drop a shitload of obsolete compiler
patches that newer versions no longer need.
At some point, we can probably simplify the generic builder, too.
enableShared in generic-builder.nix should default to what the GHC
compiler was compiled with. Add a passthru to all of the GHC compilers
to hold the value of enableShared. If enableShared is not set in the
GHC we just use false as the default value for enableSharedLibraries.
Note: I may have missed some compilers. Only GHC & GHCJS are covered
by this commit but this shouldn’t break evaluation of anything else.
This is needed for some cabal2nix stuff in getting the version.
Previously we had left out the version but apparently this can cause
problems in some scenarios.

This reverts commit dfb0f254844150d05d34150a975e6479b883d409, reversing
changes made to 7f8ff024372f985e96b438fa5591d9b43fc6e7bd. These changes broke
the ghcWithPackages wrapper:
nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (ps: [ps.mtl])" --run "ghc-pkg list mtl"
/nix/store/szz84j5k1dy3jdashis6ws28d8l8zxxb-ghc-8.0.2-with-packages/lib/ghc-8.0.2/package.conf.d

* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
It includes the following changes:
* Fixed crash on Safari on iOS
* Make linker write externs for closure compiler ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS
* ghcjs-pkg fixes for ghc 8.0.2
Because of the latter I switched from GHC-8.0.1 to GHC-8.0.2 to build ghcjs-HEAD.
* ghcjsHEAD: don’t just copy & replace, reuse same code
The HEAD file was just copied over and a few hashes replaced.
Most of these hashes were already function arguments anyway, so no reason to not
abstract over that.
* ghcjs/base: factor out stage1Packages & regenerate for HEAD
The stage1Packages have changed on ghcjs head, this adds the new list.
