  1. Remove preferLocalBuild documentation 

    It's incorrect (preferLocalBuild does not prevent uploading to binary
caches) and is not a stdenv attribute (it's already documented in the
Nix manual).

If set, specifies that the package is so lightweight in terms of build
operations (e.g. write a text file from a Nix string to the store) that
there's no need to look for it in binary caches -- it's faster to just
build it locally. It also tells Hydra and other facilities that this
package doesn't need to be exported in binary caches (noone would use it,
after all).
