mkDerivation: Don't pass buildInputs to stdenv builder in nativeBuildInputs
When not cross compiling, nativeBuildInputs and buildInputs have identical behaviour. Currently that is implemented by having mkDerivation do a concatenation of those variables in Nix code and pass that to the builder via the nativeBuildInputs attribute. However, that has some annoying side effects, like `foo.buildInputs` evaluating to `[ ]` even if buildInputs were specified in the nix expression for foo. Instead, pass buildInputs and nativeBuildInputs in separate variables as usual, and move the logic of cross compilation vs. native compilation to the stdenv builder script. This is probably a tiny bit uglier but fixes the previous problem. Issue #4855.
