doc/meta.xml: don't encourage users to add a meta.version attribute
...
That attribute is completely redundant since it just duplicates information
from "name".

Add a few meta-attribute descriptions; rewrite the meta-attribure list description to mean that it is expected that all used meta-attributes are described in the manual.

Only show/build a package on the platforms listed in meta.platforms
...
The function ‘mkDerivation’ now checks whether the current platform
type is included in a package's meta.platform field. If not, it
throws an exception:
$ nix-build -A linux --argstr system x86_64-darwin
error: user-thrown exception: the package ‘linux-3.10.15’ is not supported on ‘x86_64-darwin’
These packages also no longer show up in ‘nix-env -qa’ output. This
means, for instance, that the number of packages shown on
x86_64-freebsd has dropped from 9268 to 4764.
Since meta.platforms was also used to prevent Hydra from building some
packages, there now is a new attribute meta.hydraPlatforms listing the
platforms on which Hydra should build the package (which defaults to
meta.platforms).

Allow packages to be marked as "broken" by setting meta.broken

The effect is that they won't show up in "nix-env -qa" anymore.

* Fontconfig updated to 2.7.3. Use /etc/fonts as the default

configuration directory so that users on other distributions don't
need to set $FONTCONFIG_FILE (NIXPKGS-29). Also use
/var/cache/fontconfig for the cache to prevent programs run by root
from writing into the Nix store.
