freecad: 0.21.2 → 1.0rc2

[srounce]

Description of changes

Fixes #341214

Update FreeCAD to latest 1.0 Release Candidate (includes commits for all release candidates). I've had this building for quite some time in srounce/freecad.nix albeit with a slightly different slimmed down derivation. This PR ports the key changes to the existing Nixpkgs version allowing it to build 1.0RC.

• Tested, as applicable:
  • NixOS test(s) (look inside nixos/tests)
  • and/or package tests
  • or, for functions and "core" functionality, tests in lib/tests or pkgs/test
  • made sure NixOS tests are linked to the relevant packages
• Tested compilation of all packages that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review rev HEAD". Note: all changes have to be committed, also see nixpkgs-review usage
• Tested basic functionality of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
• 24.11 Release Notes (or backporting 23.11 and 24.05 Release notes)

@AndersonTorres @gebner I suspect there is some cruft in the derivation that could be removed, as there are many more dependencies than in my freecad.nix flake which contains only what is needed to build plus some optional ones for the features I use. However as I don't use every single feature I'm unsure as to whether some of these dependencies are required by the features that I don't use.

@wegank Merge conflict fixed, cheers 👍

I don't like that the FreeCAD package in nixpkgs was updated from a stable release to an unstable release candidate. Why couldn't the PR be tested here until the final upstream release was made? Or at least add the "rc" version as an additional low-prio package?

What's the plan for the upcoming NixOS release? Ship a release candidate?

FreeCAD is back on a stable release now: #357360 🎉 The release branch is still on 1.0rc2 though.
