Pre-merge build results

We have automatically built all packages that will get rebuilt due to
this change.

This gives evidence on whether the upgrade will break dependent packages.
Note sometimes packages show up as failed to build independent of the
change, simply because they are already broken on the target branch.

Result of nixpkgs-review --extra-nixpkgs-config '{ allowInsecurePredicate = x: true; }' run on x86_64-linux 1

Maintainer pings

cc @timokau @omasanori @7c6f434c @collares for testing.

[collares]

Requires sagemath/sage#37883 and sagemath/sage#37884, will import the patch (and test it) later. Comments report "a serious slowdown at startup by libgap 4.13.0", hopefully this is fixed in 4.13.1

[collares]

Unfortunately, fetching upstream patches is a massive pain in this Sage cycle because of some treewide code formatting changes.

Done in #357335.
