Motivation for this change

When running with a irregular locale, sloccount will spew a ton of
locale warnings.

We now wrap the main sloccount script to look into glibcLocales.

A few other minor things:

  1. use perlPackages.buildPerlPackage instead of having to manually patch
    things up

  2. move all helper scripts into libexec so as to not pollute the global bin

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.

It sounds worth looking into why the default isn't enough.

LOCALE_ARCHIVE /run/current-system/sw/lib/locale/locale-archive

The full archive is over 200MB, which is why we don't use it by default.
