srcOnly: rename buildInputs to nativeBuildInputs
The only reason to pass build inputs is to extend the unpackPhase with
custom unpack commands. Eg: add "unrar" to unpack rar sources. And those
should really be passed as native build inputs. Why? Because
nativeBuildInputs is for dependencies that are used at build time but
will not propagate as runtime dependencies. And also, cross-compilation.

srcOnly: fix invocation and document
Previously, callPackage would try and fill the arguments such as `name`
and `src` which would cause problems if those existed as top-level
attributes. This also makes it clearer what part is the function
signature.

Then document the derivation inline in the code to explain the ellipsis
and various use-cases.

11e13acc46 srcOnly: ignore additional arguments
This reverts commit b32a057425,
which breaks even the most straightforward uses of srcOnly:

    nix-repl> srcOnly guile

srcOnly: remove the ellipsis (#80903)
The function doesn't make use of the extra arguments.
