Matthew Bauer d0677e6d45 treewide: add warning comment to “boot” packages
This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads:

  Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot
  use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that
  are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files.

This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this
package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use
fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale
hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing
overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at
the bottom).

longDescription = ''
GNU ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create,
display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files, both
interactively and via shell scripts. A restricted version of ed,
red, can only edit files in the current directory and cannot
execute shell commands. Ed is the "standard" text editor in the
sense that it is the original editor for Unix, and thus widely
available. For most purposes, however, it is superseded by
full-screen editors such as GNU Emacs or GNU Moe.
