  1. top-level: Do not splice pkgs, buildPackages or *Platform 

     - `pkgs` is self-similar, and thus already spliced
 - `buildPackages` is an ingredient of splicing and should be kept as is
 - The platforms are not packages or package sets and couldn't be spliced

There's probably other things that shouldn't be spliced too. The best long-
term solution is simply to stop splicing altogether.

  3. top-level: Introduce targetPackages and a "double link fold" 

    Each bootstrapping stage ought to just depend on the previous stage, but
poorly-written compilers break this elegence. This provides an easy-enough
way to depend on the next stage: targetPackages. PLEASE DO NOT USE IT
UNLESS YOU MUST!

I'm hoping someday in a pleasant future I can revert this commit :)
