darwin.cf-private: include headers from osx_private_sdk
This includes things like CFURLGetFSRef which are not part of the
swift-corelibs CoreFoundation.

# cf-private is a bit weird, but boils down to CF with a weird setup-hook that
# makes a build link against the system CoreFoundation rather than our pure one.
# The reason it exists is that although our CF headers and build are pretty legit
# now, the underlying runtime is quite different. Apple's in a bit of flux around CF
# right now, and support three different backends for it: swift, "C", and an ObjC
# one. The former two can be built from public sources, but the ObjC one isn't really
# public. Unfortunately, it's also one of the core underpinnings of a lot of Mac-
# specific behavior, and defines a lot of symbols that some Objective C apps depend
# on, even though one might expect those symbols to derive from Foundation. So if
# your app relies on NSArray and several other basic ObjC types, it turns out that
# because of their magic "toll-free bridging" support, the symbols for those types
# live in CoreFoundation with an ObjC runtime. And because that isn't public, we have
# this hack in place to let people link properly anyway. Phew!
#
# This can be revisited if Apple ever decide to release the ObjC backend in a publicly
# buildable form.
#
# This doesn't really need to rebuild CF, but it's cheap, and adding a setup hook to
# an existing package was annoying. We need a buildEnv that knows how to add those
CF.overrideAttrs (orig: {
# PLEASE if you add things to this derivation, explain in reasonable detail why
# you're adding them and when the workaround can go away. This whole derivation is
# a workaround and if you don't explain what you're working around, it makes it
# very hard for people to clean it up later.
