In preparation for the deprecation of `stdenv.isX`.
These shorthands are not conducive to cross-compilation because they
hide the platforms.
Darwin might get cross-compilation for which the continued usage of `stdenv.isDarwin` will get in the way
One example of why this is bad and especially affects compiler packages
https://www.github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343059
There are too many files to go through manually but a treewide should
get users thinking when they see a `hostPlatform.isX` in a place where it
doesn't make sense.

The withPackages scope now provides a "postgresqlTestExtension" helper
which removes all the boilerplate for those kind of tests.
This was Mario Rodas' idea in #299756.
This fixes some build systems which look up the location of pg_config
via the location of the postgres binary itself, e.g. timescaledb,
instead of calling pg_config which is on PATH.
Since the -dev output is correctly placed before the default output of
postgresql in PATH, we can rely on that and call "pg_config" from the
default output's fake script. Only do that, when the one on PATH is
actually a different file, though, to prevent infinite loops.

We introduced LTO in #294504. At that time, we still needed to use LLVM
/ lld to make this work on darwin. For this to work for extensions, they
would need to set CFLAGS=-fuse-ld=lld, too. However, since #307880
landed, we don't need to do this anymore in the first place, LTO just
works out of the box on darwin.
Resolves#342362
