Aborted attempt to add the esy package manager to nixpkgs. I think I was almost there to get its dependencies, but I have no idea if building it like a dune package would have been enough to make it work. The last hurdle has been with cudf and dose3. The first problem when building dose3 was a string-byte problem, fixed by importing patches from the opam repository. I don't know how to fix the next one: dose3 attempts to find a cudf.cmxa in a folder that contains a cudf.cma but no cmxa. This submission is in the hope that this PR can be partially salvaged and my work was not totally useless.

Following on from PR NixOS#65098, this commit makes dose3 compile (all that was missing was to compile the native version of cudf), and also esy. Various packages have been updated too, and esy's node dependency esy-solve-cudf has been packaged. A new overlay is added for esyOcamlPackages, as mainline cmdliner doesn't successfully compile esy. It's anticipated that more esy-specific deviations might occur. Most of these changes were taken and adapted from esy/esy#994.

I think I was almost there to get its dependencies, but I have no idea if building it like a dune package would have been enough to make it work. The last hurdle has been with cudf and dose3. The first problem when building dose3 was a string-byte problem, fixed by pinning the ocaml version of esy to 4.05. I don't know how to fix the next one: dose3 attempts to find a cudf.cmxa in a folder that contains a cudf.cma but no cmxa.
