Motivation for this change

The swiften XMPP library was broken as of 2019. This commit
fixes it, by copying a patch from the Arch Linux PKGBUILD
(https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/swift)
and by using the same scons flags in that PKGBUILD.

Of note is the flag swiften_dll=1, which means that the library
is now built dynamically.

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.

The `swiften` XMPP library was broken as of 2019. This commit
fixes it, by copying a patch from the Arch Linux PKGBUILD
(https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/swift)
and by using the same scons flags in that PKGBUILD.
Additionally, we use the SWIFTEN_INSTALLDIR env variable to actually
put something in the output.

Of note is the flag swiften_dll=1, which means that the library
is now built dynamically.
