Also, the 32bit Chrome package needed for the Flash and Widevine plugins
doesn't exist anymore, because Google has dropped support for 32bit
distros, see here for the announcement:
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-dev/FoE6sL-p6oU
On our end, we need to fix the patch for the plugin paths to work for
the latest dev channel. The change is very minor, because the
nix_plugin_paths_46.patch only doesn't apply because of an iOS-related
ifdef.

Fixes: #13665
Comparing the current version with the version in sources list and
accidentally swapping the version arguments isn't going to get very far
because every new version that will come up will then be treated as "we
already have that version".
So we're now using versionOlder and also a check whether the version is
the *same* as the one in sources.nix.

The update.sh shell script now is only a call to nix-build, which does
all the hard work of updating the Chromium source channels and the
plugins. It results in a store path with the new sources.nix that
replaces the already existing sources.nix.
Along the way, this has led to a quite massive workaround, which abuses
MD5 collisions to detect whether an URL is existing, because something
like builtins.tryEval (builtins.fetchurl url) unfortunately doesn't
work. Further explanations and implementation details are documented in
the actual implementation.
The drawback of this is that we don't have nice status messages anymore,
but on the upside we have a more robust generation of the sources.nix
file, which now also should work properly on missing upstream
sources/binaries.
This also makes it much easier to implement fetching non-GNU/Linux
versions of Chromium and we have all values from omahaproxy available as
an attribute set (see the csv2nix and channels attributes in the update
attribute).

As stated in the parent commit, the 32bit Chrome package is not
available upstream, so let's at least provide the SHA256 hash for the
64bit package.

Until now, if we have a failure to fetch either the 32bit Debian package
or the 64bit Debian package, neither of these will be put into
sources.nix.
Unfortunately the beta/dev channels do not have a 32bit Debian package,
so even though there is a 64bit Debian package available we don't get
plugins *at* *all*.
This also introduces a nicer error message rather than just failing with
an assertion in fetchurl because we did not provide url/urls.

From the debian security mailing list:
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the chromium web browser.

navigate to unintended destinations.
CVE-2016-1626

Fixes: #12840
Related to: 61042a561042a5 changes the replaced token from $something to @something@. This
commit repeats that change in one additional location used by the
WideVine plugin
There is already a pull request from @colemickens, who has just reversed
the variable references $flash and $flashVersion but the fix is kinda
fragile as he points out himself in #12713.
The reason the wrong substition was made is that both variables begin
with the same name and we do a simple replace instead of a more
complicated one using builtins.match.
So staying simple but to still not raising issues with other variables
that begin with the same name I'm now using @var@ instead, like we use
in substituteAll and other substituters (like the ones in CMake or
autotools) deal with it.
Note that I'm not using $var$ here to make sure it doesn't get confused
with real shell variables.
So with this fix in place, the wrapper now has the following flags:
--ppapi-flash-path=/nix/store/.../lib/libpepflashplayer.so
--ppapi-flash-version=20.0.0.294
Previously we had (#12710):
--ppapi-flash-path=/nix/store/.../lib/libpepflashplayer.so
--ppapi-flash-version=/nix/store/...-binary-plugins-flashVersion
Thanks to @colemickens for reporting and putting up a pull request.

vcunat made dev channel stay for now, as it wouldn't download otherwise.
This is most of PR #12717.
This package is deprecated and superseeded by links2 which also provides the
links binary this maintaining backwards-compatibility.
Debian removed links back in 2008:

Working on Chromium really drives me nuts due to its build time, also I
really don't have quite a lot of time these days to properly maintain it
anymore.

This has been introduced by me in 690a845 and discovered by @vcunat in
his comment over at:
690a845de9 (commitcomment-14209868)
It's really a bit ugly to have builds running during evaluation, but
back when I made that commit the reason was to avoid having to shell
quote the hell out of it (see the comment in mkPluginInfo for the
reason).
Now we propagate plugin flags and environment variables as a list of
arguments in a plain file that's appended verbatim to makeWrapper, so
it shouldn't do any builds anymore during instantiation.
I have tested this with both just WideVine and just Flash enabled as
well as both in combination and none of the plugins and the output seems
correct. However I didn't test to run Chromium with the new
implementation.
