weechat: 2.1 -> 2.2; improve package configuration

This aims to make the `weechat` package even more configurable. It
allows to specify scripts and commands using the `configure` function
inside a `weechat.override` expression.

The package can be configured like this:

```
with import <nixpkgs> { };
weechat.override {
  plugins = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
    plugins = builtins.attrValues availablePlugins;

    init = ''
      /set foo bar
      /server add freenode chat.freenode.org
    '';

    scripts = [ "/path/to/script.py" ];
  };
}
```

All commands are passed to `weechat --run-command "/set foo bar;/server ..."`.

The `plugins' attribute is not necessarily required anymore, if it's
sufficient to add `init' commands, the `plugins' will be
`builtins.attrValues availablePlugins' by default.

Additionally the result contains `weechat` and `weechat-headless`
(introduced in WeeChat 2.1) now.

WeeChat allows to set defaults on startup using the <literal>--run-command</literal>.
The <literal>configure</literal> method can be used to pass commands to the program:
<programlisting>weechat.override {
configure = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
init = ''
/set foo bar
/server add freenode chat.freenode.org
'';
};
}</programlisting>
Further values can be added to the list of commands when running
<literal>weechat --run-command "your-commands"</literal>.
</para>
<para>
Additionally it's possible to specify scripts to be loaded when starting <literal>weechat</literal>.
These will be loaded before the commands from <literal>init</literal>:
<programlisting>weechat.override {
configure = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
scripts = with pkgs.weechatScripts; [
weechat-xmpp weechat-matrix-bridge wee-slack
];
init = ''
/set plugins.var.python.jabber.key "val"
'':
};
}</programlisting>

<para>
In <literal>nixpkgs</literal> there's a subpackage which contains derivations for
WeeChat scripts. Such derivations expect a <literal>passthru.scripts</literal> attribute
which contains a list of all scripts inside the store path. Furthermore all scripts
have to live in <literal>$out/share</literal>. An exemplary derivation looks like this:
<programlisting>{ stdenv, fetchurl }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "exemplary-weechat-script";
src = fetchurl {
url = "https://scripts.tld/your-scripts.tar.gz";
sha256 = "...";
};
passthru.scripts = [ "foo.py" "bar.lua" ];
installPhase = ''
mkdir $out/share
cp foo.py $out/share
cp bar.lua $out/share
'';
}</programlisting>
