Motivation for this change

As explained by @orivej:

These (except libsignal-protocol-c) are private dependencies of the
actual dependencies that should neither be propagated nor added
manually to dino. For example, libpsl and brotli come from
libsoup-2.4.pc:

Requires: glib-2.0 >=  2.38, gobject-2.0 >=  2.38, gio-2.0 >=  2.38
Requires.private: libxml-2.0, sqlite3, libpsl >=  0.20, libbrotlidec, zlib

(To be precise, glib uses utillinuxMinimal rather than utillinux.)

The warnings we see, such as Package 'mount', required by 'gio-2.0',
not found, come from CMake running both pkg-config --libs and
pkg-config --static --libs to populate both _LIBRARIES and
_STATIC_LIBRARIES[1], but dino has no use for the latter.
Currently these warnings can not be disabled:
https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/18158

(They could be prevented by pruning Requires.private from shared-only
libraries akin to #51767,
although it can not be detected if a library is shared-only from the
.pc file alone, and this is just a warning.)

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.
