This should also fix VA-API for chromiumBeta (though that part needs
some cleanup). However, chromiumDev likely still fails due to the
absence of dirmd (not included in the tarball so far, we might have to
package and add it as a dependency).
Wanted to do this for a long time to collect important knowledge and
make it easier to pass maintainership.
Only time will tell if this'll be useful or become outdated instead.

llvmPackages_11: 11.0.0rc5 -> 11.0.0 and various fixes/improvements:
- llvmPackages_11 now compiles on Darwin
- libcxx now compiles on Linux
- Ported #91293 to 11.0.0
- Try to anticipate #100388

I've rebased the patches accordingly and avoided:
meson.build:320: WARNING: Platform `surfaceless` is now always selected; setting this option will be an error in Mesa 20.3
meson.build:324: WARNING: Platform `drm` is now automatically selected; setting this option will be an error in Mesa 20.3
This will also fix the list in the configuration summary:
EGL/Vulkan/VL platforms: x11 surfaceless wayland drm surfaceless drm
Chromium 86.0.4240.75 builds fine without this patch. And since
WEBP_MAX_DIMENSION is the same in the system libwebp this patch should
not be required anymore (it was introduced in 06ec2a9f19, apparently to
fix the build).
This one occurrence wasn't updated:
$ git grep "nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual"
nixos/doc/manual/README: nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux
nixos/doc/manual/development/meta-attributes.xml:<screen><prompt>$ </prompt>nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual</screen>
nixos/doc/manual/development/writing-documentation.xml:<screen>nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux</screen>
This is done to avoid driver specific issues and restores the previous
behaviour. Like before video acceleration can be enabled without having
to rebuild Chromium.
This is required for certain URIs that require launching external
programs (e.g. mailto:, magnet:, or irc:) or setting the default browser
via xdg-settings.
Fix#96897 and fix#92751.
Backwards incompatible changes:
- Removed support for idna based U-label parsing in various X.509
classes. This support was originally deprecated in version 2.1 and
moved to an extra in 2.5.
Note: The following might also need to be updated:
substituteStream(): WARNING: pattern '/usr/share/xcb' doesn't match anything in file 'ui/gfx/x/BUILD.gn'
I didn't look into this yet but IIRC M86 will finally have a flag for
Linux to enable VA-API. So we shouldn't need
enable-video-acceleration-on-linux.patch anymore.
But we likely need to update enable-vdpau-support-for-nvidia.patch
when/before M86 hits the stable channel if we want to keep VDPAU
support.
Ok, so I was about to update the patch (didn't apply anymore) when I
also started looking at it's usage and realized that
NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_ (and other substrings) only appears in the
patch itself (i.e. it seemed like we don't need this patch anymore).
Turns out that we have this patch since 2014 (1b84fbf0ca) and it was
only ever used for NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_WIDEVINE (and from the log
it isn't clear if/when or how well that worked). But in 2019 that last
usage got removed (545d58a1ef) so we should be able to safely drop this
patch now :) \o/
(I just wanted to note that as it seemed somewhat of a funny story :D
But there is of course nothing wrong with it.)

This is used by mesa.drivers (still on LLVM 9) as a cache key. I've
ported that change to LLVM 11 to test it and so that it doesn't get lost
in future versions. Credit for the change goes to David McFarland.
See #93946 for details.

This is more robust than depending on the channel, though the version
should only matter if the configuration phase fails.
This also switches to the intended version for `chromium` which should
be higher since M85 is in the stable channel.
Thanks `@volth` for pointing this out.
