On numerous occasions I have seen users mistake this
module as libinput because it being called "multitouch"
and them being unaware that the actually module they want
is libinput. They then run into several decrepit bugs due
to the completely out-of-date nature of the underlying package.
The underlying package hasn't been changed to an up-to-date
fork in a period of 8 years. I don't consider this to be production quality.
However, I'm not opposed for the module being readded to NixOS
with new packaging, and a better name.
The GYP build is now deprecated [0].
This results in a large number of changes and many custom Nix patches
aren't required anymore (and probably haven't been required for quite
some time now, the derivation got a bit outdated...).
A lot of the changes in this commit are based on the changes of the
Arch package [1][2] (which our package is based upon).
Rough overview of the changes:
- gcc9 -> ninja (optional but let's follow Arch here)
- Dropped GYP, only CMake now
- But: Python is still required
- fetchFromGitHub -> fetchurl (optional?)
- Apply all Arch patches and remove old patches
- Requires one new patch for range-v3
- New dependencies: enchant2, lz4, xxHash
- TODO: Plus a few new dependencies that shouldn't be required
- Cleanup: Irrelevant flags (e.g. GYP_DEFINES) and patches (e.g. sed)
- Simplifies quite a few things :)
- Some additional documentation and TODOs

Before this change, the build would duplicate the prefix in the
installation location for cgi-bin stuff:
-- Installing: /nix/store/skg6b81hikd3fvvdf62xbkm6gsbid41a-zoneminder-1.32.3/nix/store/skg6b81hikd3fvvdf62xbkm6gsbid41a-zoneminder-1.32.3/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin/zms
As of 2020-01-09, way-cooler is officially dead:
http://way-cooler.org/blog/2020/01/09/way-cooler-post-mortem.html
hence, remove the package and the module.

* packagekit: 1.1.12 -> 1.1.13
https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/blob/PACKAGEKIT_1_1_13/NEWS
* packagekit: set systemd user unit dir, minor touchups
While visiting:
* drop trailing slash in system unit dir
* prefer placeholder over escaping
* packagekit: dbus dir fixup (thanks @worldofpeace!)

Most prominently we don't use `phases` because of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/28910.
This is also problematic when using wrapGAppsHook.
In order to use wrapGAppsHook's automatic wrapping
(this was done manually before because there was no fixupPhase)
we need to install signal at lib/Signal instead of just into libexec.
That's because it would try to wrap .so files.
