Merge branch 'master' into staging-next

Comments on conflicts:
- llvm: d6f401e1 vs. 469ecc70 - docs for 6 and 7 say the default is
  to build all targets, so we should be fine
- some pypi hashes: they were equivalent, just base16 vs. base32

Here are some packages that provide a setup hook. Since the mechanism is
modular, this probably isn't an exhaustive list. Then again, since the
mechanism is only to be used as a last resort, it might be.
<variablelist>
First, lets cover some setup hooks that are part of Nixpkgs
default stdenv. This means that they are run for every package
built using <function>stdenv.mkDerivation</function>. Some of
these are platform specific, so they may run on Linux but not
Darwin or vice-versa.

<term>
<literal>move-docs.sh</literal>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This setup hook moves any installed documentation to the
<literal>/share</literal> subdirectory directory. This includes
the man, doc and info directories. This is needed for legacy
programs that do not know how to use the
<literal>share</literal> subdirectory.

<literal>compress-man-pages.sh</literal>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This setup hook compresses any man pages that have been
installed. The compression is done using the gzip program. This
helps to reduce the installed size of packages.

<literal>strip.sh</literal>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This runs the strip command on installed binaries and
libraries. This removes unnecessary information like debug
symbols when they are not needed. This also helps to reduce the
installed size of packages.

<literal>patch-shebangs.sh</literal>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This setup hook patches installed scripts to use the full path
to the shebang interpreter. A shebang interpreter is the first
commented line of a script telling the operating system which
program will run the script (e.g <literal>#!/bin/bash</literal>). In
Nix, we want an exact path to that interpreter to be used. This
often replaces <literal>/bin/sh</literal> with a path in the
Nix store.

<literal>audit-tmpdir.sh</literal>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This verifies that no references are left from the install
binaries to the directory used to build those binaries. This
ensures that the binaries do not need things outside the Nix
store. This is currently supported in Linux only.

<term>
<literal>multiple-outputs.sh</literal>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This setup hook adds configure flags that tell packages to
install files into any one of the proper outputs listed in
<literal>outputs</literal>. This behavior can be turned off by setting
<literal>setOutputFlags</literal> to false in the derivation
environment. See <xref linkend="chap-multiple-output"/> for
more information.
