This fixes build for version 36, which i accidentally broke in commit
f6e31fadd8.
The reason this happened, was that my Hydra didn't pick up the latest
commit and I actually tested and built the parent commit instead of the
update commit.
So, this commit is the real "builds fine, tested" for all channels.
Also, the sandbox client initalization has moved into
setuid_sandbox_client.cc, so we need to move the lookup of the
CHROMIUM_SANDBOX_BINARY_PATH environment variable there.

The system attribute was already there in the function head of the
shared update helper but it actually wasn't used and thus later the
import of <nixpkgs> was done using builtins.currentSystem instead of the
system attribute inherited from the source derivation.
Now we correctly propagate the attribute, so that even when running a
64bit kernel you can run a 32bit Chromium with binary plugins.

This fixes the issue of Chromium not being able to load the pulseaudio
librarp
We could also propagate the build inputs, but it would end up being the
same as just directoly linking against the library.
Thanks to @aristidb for noticing this in #2421:

This should fix the desktop icon location for both desktop entries (the
one from the Chromium derivation itself and the wrapper) and renames the
name of the file so that it gets overridden by the wrappers desktop item
so we don't end up having two of them.

This implements some longstanding work of getting the Chromium
derivation more modular. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to decrease the
compile time, which was one of the primary goal for doing the refactor.
A main reason this didn't work out well was the fact that most bundled
libraries are so heavily patched that it's not possible within a limited
time frame to decouple it from the main derivation.
However, it should now be easier to build other derivations that build
upon Chromium, like libcef. Also, it finally adds support for the
non-free PepperAPI Flash and PDF plugins and support for fetching the
corresponding versions through the updater.
The packageName attribute defines the output path and binary name of the
product that's going to be created, so we really want to have "chromium"
instead of "chromium-browser" here, especially for the resulting binary.

We already have a desktop icon from the browser wrapper, so this is only
for people who do not use the wrapper (for example if you don't want to
use Mozilla plugins).
Also, we someday might want to propagate the desktop item to the browser
wrapper as well.

Yes, it's just a comment and yes, it's so insignificant that everyone
would make a "O_o" face. But I'm getting annoyed by things like this.
Obviously that means no feature changes :-)

This is to ensure that nothing unexpected will be after the merge of the
refactoring branch, and also my own autoupdate machinery is expecting
this location, so there really is no reason to change it now.

beta: 34.0.1847.60 -> 35.0.1916.47 (builds fine, tested)
dev: 35.0.1883.0 -> 36.0.1941.0 (builds fine, tested)
For the new version 36, we needed to rebase our user namespaces sandbox
patch, because http://crbug.com/312380 is preparing for an upstream
implementation of the same functionality.
Also, we need to add ply and jinja2 to the depends on version 36. This
is done unconditionally, because I want to avoid cluttering up the
expressions with various versionOlder checks.
The sandbox binary had to be fixed as well and we no longer use system
zlib, as - who might have guessed it - it's a fast moving target at
Chromium as well.

The version of v8 to use for Chromium is heavily tied to the specific
version of Chromium and thus it doesn't really make sense to use v8 from
<nixpkgs>, as we would need to have 3 different versions of v8, one for
each Chromium channel.

It doesn't make sense to do the splitting of the source code on a remote

This results in a new function called mkChromiumDerivation, which can be
used to easily build packages that are based on the Chromium source
tree.
We pass through this function as mkDerivation in the chromium wrappre,
so in the end if you want to create such a package, something like:
chromium.mkDerivation (base: {
name = "your-shiny-package-based-on-chromium";
...
})
will suffice.
Of course, this is only the first step towards this functionality,
because right now I'm not even sure the Chromium browser itself will
build.

This now uses the Debian package from the sources derivation instead of
hardcoding it, so we finally should have proper PepperAPI plugin support
without crashing plugins and whatnot.

This cases the Debian binaries to be fetched from Google's official APT
repository. If we aren't able to find a package from the APT repository,
it's very likely that it already got deleted upstream and we need to
fallback to mirrors instead.
Unfortunately, we can't use mirrors for updating, because Google doesn't
sign the Debian packages themselves and only the release files.
We're going to hook it into a Chromium updater soon, making the sha256
hashes publicly available, so if it is missing, we can still put the
sha256 manually into sources.nix, without risking anything by blindly
fetching from one of the provided mirrors.

The updater is now splitted between a shellscript and a Nix expression
file which contains helpers and lookup functions to reconstruct all
information needed in order to fetch the source tarballs.
This means, that the sources.nix now doesn't contain URLs and only
versions and the corresponding SHA256 hashes. Of course, right now this
sounds like it's unnecessary, but we're going to fetch binaries soon so
it's a good idea to not unnecessarily clutter up sources.nix.

Next, we're going to refactor update.sh and the first step is to ensure
that we keep everything related to sources into its own subdirectory to
not clutter up the main directory too much.

We don't want ta have the source derivation in the runtime dependencies
of the browser itself. Also, we've broken the Firefox wrapper, because
we've no longer exposed the packageName attribute.

I'm giving up on this after several attempts to correctly unbundle the
largest part, namely Google's WebKit fork Blink. Right now it's so much
tied into the Chromium source it's going to be fairly hard to do if
you're not working full time on it.
Also, the intermediate steps needed to do this properly would introduce
uneccesary complexity on our side, so we really need to finish this
without leaving it in the "messy" state in order to not make Chromium
even more difficult to maintain than it is already.
However, anyone who wants to proceed on this messy step is free to
revert this commit and continue doing so. In my case I'm going to try
again once https://crbug.com/239107 and https://crbug.com/239181 are
fixed in _stable_ (I don't want to introduce *lots* of conditionals on
the version either).

We obviously don't want the Hydra job of nixpkgs to fail, so we need to
make sure that we have a proper meta attribute on the outermost
derivation.
For builds based on the Chromium source tree (like for example libcef),
we can still move the wrapper elsewhere when we need it.

This is because of our symlink mess, as Chromium's build support scripts
are trying to resolve everything based on absolute paths and we split
off the bundled sources from the main derivation.
Yes, I'm refering to this as a mess, because in the end, we're going to
patch up the gyp files and use references someday.

Now, we no longer tie the sandbox directly to the browser derivation but
wrap everything together into one derivation at the entry point at
default.nix.

So far we just copied everything from source.* into the build directory
during the prePatch. This somewhat defeated the purpose of the source
splitup because it involved more I/O than just unpacking the entire
source tree.
Now, we're selectively *symlinking* the bundled sources into the build
directory. Even that isn't perfect because in the end we'd just
reference foreign derivations and we're done. But for now, this gets us
at least prepared for a massive reduction of compile time.
Unfortunately, gyp's behaviour when it comes to symlinks is quite
painful to come by, so we need to fix a few references to use absolute
paths.

This currently only passes through the arguments and is nothing more
than the foundation of the new structure. In essence, I want to have a
really small default.nix which is then going down into the respective
subparts that are isolated from each other.

This is hardcoded for the dev channel at the moment and we're going to
fetch it along with the main Chromium sources.
Also I'm putting this in default.nix at the moment, because we're going
to tear apart the whole Chromium package into several subparts soon.
