Motivation for this change

It has been abandoned and insecure for ages. Now it has finally broke so no one should complain.

Fixes: #39975

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

They have been broken and disabled for ages and now the dependencies are being removed.

- use pkg-config instead of pkgconfig alias
- use placeholders for cmakeFlags
- do not skip build rpath
- udev replacements no longer apply TheImagingSource/tiscamera@47d4fb2

There are some misplaced dependencies like gobject-introspection and orc that should probably go to nativeBuildInputs but upstream detects them incorrectly.
It has been abandoned for ages, insecure, and now finally broken.

Lol, and hopefully we could actually have the gstreamer packages not under a weird attribute (eventually). Yay to this ✨
