Added sqlite and gtk+3 that are now wanted by sparse.
Sparse expects to find system includes at /usr/include redirect this
to glibc.dev.
Sparse uses gcc -print-file-name= extensively to find gcc includes, due
to split in nixos this direct to gcc-lib, which does not include the headers
so redirect to GCC_BASE as defined in derivation. There might be a better way
to do this, but I did not immediately find one.
Define PREFIX as Make parameter, as old sed expression was broken.
Add a trivial test for cgcc.
Slightly irrelevant ref.

cgcc command has shebang of /usr/bin/perl, which obviously does not
work for nixos, adding perl to buildInputs seems to make all the magic
happen, as per usual.
continuation of #109595
pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
