Since building nodejs also builds v8, one way to get a static v8
library is to manually assemble it from the leftover object
files. This seems like an easier way to get an up-to-date v8 library
than trying to keep the v8 package updated.
These were introduced with nodejs itself back in 2016: 822abc49ad.
Removing `util-linux` from build inputs doesn't break the builds,
so there's no reason to keep them.
The `platform` field is pointless nesting: it's just stuff that happens
to be defined together, and that should be an implementation detail.
This instead makes `linux-kernel` and `gcc` top level fields in platform
configs. They join `rustc` there [all are optional], which was put there
and not in `platform` in anticipation of a change like this.
`linux-kernel.arch` in particular also becomes `linuxArch`, to match the
other `*Arch`es.
The next step after is this to combine the *specific* machines from
`lib.systems.platforms` with `lib.systems.examples`, keeping just the
"multiplatform" ones for defaulting.

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.

Building node with npm introduces a python runtime depndency through
gyp - slim variation makes sense for building small nodejs production
