prefer-fetch-remote: an overlay to fetch on remote builders
This is useful when running tools like NixOps or nix-review
on workstations where the upload to the builder is significantly
slower then downloading the source on the builder itself.

a1a5ea5943 stdenv: make checkInputs native
We can't run the checkPhase when build != host, so we may as well make
the checkInputs native.

This signicantly improves the situation of Python packages when enabling
strictDeps.

manual: limit text width
Currently the manual scales to the view port of the browser.
This leads to an unreadable layout and I found myself
reading the xml source instead.
The optimal width would be around 50 characters per line.
Since we have code listings also in the manual I relaxed
this limit a bit towards 70 characters per line.

0c99dac497 doc: Add automatic generation of library function documentation
Modifies the build process of the manual to invoke nixdoc
automatically to generate XML files with function documentation.

Currently documentation is present for five of the files in `lib/`.

To add another file to the generated docs, both
`doc/functions/library.xml` and `doc/lib-function-docs.nix` must be
updated.

6206a342e0 mkl: include Intel's libiomp.so in the MKL RPM unpack
Since Intel's default openmp implementation is available in the same src
tarball, we can just include it in the package. This means that `mkl` now "just
works" without any environment variables, fragile setup-hooks, or forced
propagation.

Since the openmp implementation is only needed at runtime (and for test cases),
users can substitute a different one if they prefer by exporting it with
`LD_PRELOAD`, which is how Intel recommends handling this. If they do not do so,
`libiomp.so` lives next to `libmkl_rt.so` and thus will be in the RPATH as a
sane default.

Since this still comes from the same src tarball, we can ship it without losing
the fixed-output derivation; likewise, since Hydra is not building or caching
these, shipping these proprietary packages costs no bandwidth for the nix
community.

update.nix: Run update scripts in parallel
To make updating large attribute sets faster, the update scripts
are now run in parallel.

Please note the following changes in semantics:

- The string passed to updateScript needs to be a path to an executable file.
- The updateScript can also be a list: the tail elements will then be passed
  to the head as command line arguments.

doc/stdenv: Document autoPatchelfHook changes
First of all, this makes the existing documentation a bit more clear on
what autoPatchelfHook is all about, because after discussing with
@svanderburg - who wrote a similar implementation - the rationale about
autoPatchelfHook wasn't very clear in the documentation.

I also added the recent changes around being able to use autoPatchelf
manually and the new --no-recurse flag.

dovecot, opensmtpd: add link to test in meta.tests
Rationale
---------

Currently, tests are hard to discover. For instance, someone updating
`dovecot` might not notice that the interaction of `dovecot` with
`opensmtpd` is handled in the `opensmtpd.nix` test.

And even for someone updating `opensmtpd`, it requires manual work to go
check in `nixos/tests` whether there is actually a test, especially
given not so many packages in `nixpkgs` have tests and this is thus most
of the time useless.

Finally, for the reviewer, it is much easier to check that the “Tested
via one or more NixOS test(s)” has been checked if the file modified
already includes the list of relevant tests.

Implementation
--------------

Currently, this commit only adds the metadata in the package. Each
element of the `meta.tests` attribute is a derivation that, when it
builds successfully, means the test has passed (ie. following the same
convention as NixOS tests).

Future Work
-----------

In the future, the tools could be made aware of this `meta.tests`
attribute, and for instance a `--with-tests` could be added to
`nix-build` so that it also builds all the tests. Or a `--without-tests`
to build without all the tests. @Profpatsch described in his NixCon talk
such systems.

Another thing that would help in the future would be the possibility to
reasonably easily have cross-derivation nix tests without the whole
NixOS VM stack. @7c6f434c already proposed such a system.

This RFC currently handles none of these concerns. Only the addition of
`meta.tests` as metadata to be used by maintainers to remember to run
relevant tests.
