e9bfa84aaf refactor(3p/lisp): Use sources from nixpkgs where possible
nixpkgs includes a lispPackages set which is generated from something.
In the meantime, we pretty much never update our Lisp deps.

This commit ties our sources to nixpkgs.lispPackages where the desired
package is included in nixpkgs (which is actually most of them!)

02566cdcfb feat(nix/buildLisp): add ecl
Adds ECL as a second supported implementation, specifically a statically
linked ECL. This is interesting because we can create statically linked
binaries, but has a few drawbacks which doesn't make it generally
useful:

* Loading things is very slow: The statically linked ECL only has byte
  compilation available, so when we do load things or use the REPL it is
  significantly worse than with e. g. SBCL.

* We can't load shared objects via the FFI since ECL's dffi is not
  available when linked statically. This means that as it stands, we
  can't build a statically linked //web/panettone for example.

Since ECL is quite slow anyways, I think these drawbacks are worth it
since the biggest reason for using ECL would be to get a statically
linked binary. If we change our minds, it shouldn't be too hard to
provide ecl-static and ecl-dynamic as separate implementations.

ECL is LGPL and some libraries it uses as part of its runtime are as
well. I've outlined in the ecl-static overlay why this should be of no
concern in the context of depot even though we are statically linking.

Currently everything is building except projects that are using cffi to
load shared libaries which have gotten an appropriate
`badImplementations` entry. To get the rest building the following
changes were made:

* Anywhere a dependency on UIOP is expressed as `bundled "uiop"` we now
  use `bundled "asdf"` for all implementations except SBCL. From my
  testing, SBCL seems to be the only implementation to support using
  `(require 'uiop)` to only load the UIOP package. Where both a
  dependency on ASDF and UIOP exists, we just delete the UIOP one.
  `(require 'asdf)` always causes UIOP to be available.

* Where appropriate only conditionally compile SBCL-specific code and
  if any build the corresponding files for ECL.

* //lisp/klatre: Use the standard condition parse-error for all
  implementations except SBCL in try-parse-integer.

* //3p/lisp/ironclad: disable SBCL assembly optimization hack for all
  other platforms as it may interfere with compilation.

* //3p/lisp/trivial-mimes: prevent call to asdf function by substituting
  it out of the source since it always errors out in ECL and we hardcode
  the correct path elsewhere anyways.

As it stands ECL still suffers from a very weird problem which happens
when compiling postmodern and moptilities:

8361b82d0a refactor(third_party): Consistent use of depot.third_party vs. pkgs
In preparation for the solution of b/108, we need to consistently use
`depot.third_party` for packages that are only packed in the TVL depot
and `pkgs` for things that come from nixpkgs.

This commit cleans up a huge chunk of these uses in //third_party
