coreutils: split a coreutils-full version
- default coreutils is stripped of /share/ (11 -> 2 MiB) - coreutils-full retains /share/ and adds openssl for faster *sum tools - NixOS systemPackages contains coreutils-full - *Support parameter defaults are moved inside (it seemed confusing to have `? false` and "at once" with `? isLinux`) Closure considerations: + typical build-time closure will get lighter by ~9 MiB - typical closure of NixOS installation will grow by ~2 MiB, due to referring to both versions. I think it would be possible to re-use most of the utils between the two versions, but the expression would get much more complex. I considered having stdenv with minimal coreutils and the default `coreutils` attribute being full, but it turned out there were too many trivial references in nixpkgs, so it didn't seem easy to keep rebuild impact of openssl from growing significantly.
