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.
Reason: Fixes CVE-2020-13946 Apache Cassandra RMI Rebind Vulnerability
Description:
It is possible for a local attacker without access to the Apache Cassandra
process or configuration files to manipulate the RMI registry to perform a
man-in-the-middle attack and capture user names and passwords used to access
the JMX interface. The attacker can then use these credentials to access
the JMX interface and perform unauthorised operations.
Users should also be aware of CVE-2019-2684, a JRE vulnerability that enables
this issue to be exploited remotely.
3.0.x users should upgrade to 3.0.22

Update patch that prevents making V8 snapshots, as those segfault.
Fix build by building only the database server. Other make targets fetch
dependencies at build time and this behaviour cannot be overriden.
Therefore, the clients and web interface are no longer built. See
rethinkdb/rethinkdb#6867.
