maintainers: Add script to patch version/sha256 in .nix files
Adds a script to help automatically upgrading packages: this one can patch name/version attributes like: version = "50.1.0"; name = "bc-1.06"; ... to the given version, and updates the sha256 hash to match. Usage is: update-source-version <attr> <new-version> [<new-source-hash>] where: - attr is the attribute path of the package - new-version is the version string to be patched in - new-source-hash is the optional sha256/etc. hash of the source. If not given, the script will automatically calculate it. This is added to a subdirectory where other useful scripts can be added in the future, like figuring out the newest version from a git repo or GitHub releases etc.
