Announced in [1], versioned tarballs allow to make sure that a
specific version is fetched. This does not guarantee that all previous
versions are retained on the main mirrors.
Logically, we would want to first try to download versioned tarballs
from any mirror and only then try the unversioned ones. But right now
we only have two mirrors and only some of the tarballs are versioned
in texlive-2019, so the order is changed to not hammer the weak
tug.org mirror.

The biber package is now at 2.14, but TextBibTeX is still required.
Few changes were needed for newly introduced scripts-extra path. This
broke some of our old tricks which were relying on having writable
script directories. The changes to the script locations made buildEnv
create symlinks to the script directories instead of directories of
symlinks to scripts. The changes to texlinks.sh and texlive/TeXLive
perl path were made because of this.
The shell script doesn't work very well in non-GNU environments like
darwin. This provides an implementation that uses just a single GNU tool
- gawk, thus reduces number of points of failure.
In the Rust platform builder, the attribute `cargoPatches` must be used if we
want to consistently apply a patch to the `Cargo.lock` in the vendored
`cargoDeps` and to the `Cargo.lock` in the `src` attribute.
This fixes the build by applying that patch consistently, so the coherency
checker in the newer Rust cargo builder passes.
The attribute `verifyCargoDeps` is no longer defined in the rustPlatform helper;
it is now the default and always on as part of the improvements in #79975
These patches are gathered from different sources,
such as https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10862231/ for the
`gettid` patch.
Another patch comes from the issue in the AFL repository.
The ultimate goal is to get these patches upstream as well,
so we don't keep these general patches only within nixos.
A PR is created against Google/AFL
https://github.com/google/AFL/pull/79,
but it might take a while before it's landed, considering the history
of the project (there are more PRs open).
