Following legacy packing conventions, `isArm` was defined just for
32-bit ARM instruction set. This is confusing to non packagers though,
because Aarch64 is an ARM instruction set.
The official ARM overview for ARMv8[1] is surprisingly not confusing,
given the overall state of affairs for ARM naming conventions, and
offers us a solution. It divides the nomenclature into three levels:
```
ISA: ARMv8 {-A, -R, -M}
/ \
Mode: Aarch32 Aarch64
| / \
Encoding: A64 A32 T32
```
At the top is the overall v8 instruction set archicture. Second are the
two modes, defined by bitwidth but differing in other semantics too, and
buttom are the encodings, (hopefully?) isomorphic if they encode the
same mode.
The 32 bit encodings are mostly backwards compatible with previous
non-Thumb and Thumb encodings, and if so we can pun the mode names to
instead mean "sets of compatable or isomorphic encodings", and then
voilà we have nice names for 32-bit and 64-bit arm instruction sets
which do not use the word ARM so as to not confused either laymen or
experienced ARM packages.

Technically, racket compiles and packages too, but it doesn't pass all
tests yet, so the build fails.
gcc7Stdenv is GCC 7 with the MacOS-specific adaptations retained.
Building on MacOS with that works, but we should be using clang.
I'm hoping that the next person wanting to override the compiler
version in some other derivation sees that attribute and doesn't
inadvertently break a MacOS build again.
* remove EOL ruby versions for security and maintenance reasons.
* only expose ruby_MAJOR_MINOR to the top-level. we don't provide
guarantees for the TINY version.
* mark all related packages as broken
* switch the default ruby version from 2.3.x to 2.4.x
Documents the reason why it's needed and also prevents the
ensureNewerSourcesHook call being evaluated again and again for every
single Python package.
