Reduce the size of the Nixpkgs/NixOS jobsets
This cuts nixpkgs:trunk from 78K to 31K jobs by disabling builds of {node,go,python,emacs,coq,r,ocaml,perl}Packages. Thus these are now only built if they are dependencies of top-level packages (such as end-user applications). I left haskellPackages because they take typically longer to build than the others (which are mostly interpreted languages), so disabling them would be more painful to users. This is a temporary measure until we have a binary cache based Hydra running on faster hardware, necessitated by the fact that evaluations now regularly time out after 6 hours.
