weechat: Fix build on Darwin #75785

Motivation for this change

The weechat version update from 8 days ago broke building on Darwin for two reasons.

First, gettext is necessary to build on Darwin.

Second, the tcl derivation assumes dll names end in .so on every platform, causing it to make a dangling symlink on Darwin. The weechat changelog indicates that they change how they detect the TCL library -- as a result, weechat attempted to link against the dangling symlink and failed.

Things done

I was careful to ensure the TCL derivation evaluate the same on Linux.

  • 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 nix-review --run "nix-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.

I think this should be split in two commits. The TCL change on darwin looks isolated from the weechat change. Probably a good idea to move this through staging first as well.

@andir I split out #75947 and removed the tcl fix from this branch. This won't build on Mac until it is merged, though.
