autoPatchelfHook: Allow to prevent automatic run
If you want to only run autoPatchelf on a specific path and leave
everything else alone, we now have a $dontAutoPatchelf environment
variable, which causes the postFixup hook to not run at all.
The name "dontAutoPatchelf" probably is a bit weird in conjunction with
putting "autoPatchelfHook" in nativeBuildInputs, but unless someone
comes up with a better name I keep it that way because it's consistent
with all the other dontStrip, dontPatchShebangs, dontPatchELF and
whatnot.
A specific example where this is needed is when building the Android SDK
emulator, which contains a few ARM binaries in subdirectories that
should not be patched. If we were to run autoPatchelf on all outputs
unconditionally we'd run into errors because some ARM libraries couldn't
be found.
