The previous commit revealed that Python wasn't actually using
Berkeley DB; it only had it in its closure due to the build-time flag
dump in Makefile and _sysconfigdata.py. When Python detects both GNU
gdbm and Berkeley DB at build time, it will use the former.
This cuts about 3 MiB from the installed size. On Linux, the configure
script is supposed to detect that installing tzdata is unnecessary,
but it looks in locations like /usr/share/zoneinfo.
This reduces Python's closure size from 200 MiB to 129 MiB. Even
better would be to get move tkinter to a separate output or package
(since that would get rid of all X11 stuff), but that's a bit harder.
This reduces tcl's total size from 25.0 MiB to 8.6 MiB. Admittedly
this is also because putting the manpages in the right place causes
all man3 pages to be deleted by the multiple outputs setup hook. Not
sure if that's desirable behaviour...

This was one of the ways to build packages, we are trying
hard to minimize different ways so it's easier for newcomers
to learn only one way.
This also:
- removes texLive (old), fixes#14807
- removed upstream-updater, if that code is still used it should be in
separate repo
- changes a few packages like gitit/mit-scheme to use new texlive
io uses SIMD instructions even on i686, causing the build to fail:
> /nix/store/[...]-gcc-5.4.0/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/5.4.0/include/xmmintrin.h:181:1:
error: inlining failed in call to always_inline '_mm_add_ps': target
specific option mismatch
_mm_add_ps (__m128 __A, __m128 __B)
(from https://hydra.nixos.org/build/37879114/log/raw)
The simplest solution is to disable the build on this platform.
