Note: this previously worked before we didn't have umount in the dev
shell, so we got /run/wrappers/bin/umount.
Incorrectly high expectations lead to frustration for users who
stick around to experience how useless it is for e.g. a devShell

`make check` was reverted too soon. The hacking guide wasn't brought
up to date with the new workflow, and it's not clear how to use
meson for everything.
This reverts commit 6f3045c2a2.
This wasn't the default behaviour because:

Since we have a componentized build, we've solved the duplication.
In the new situation, building both with and without unit tests
isn't any slow than just a build with unit tests, so there's no
point in using the unit-tested build anymore.
By using the otherwise untested build, we reduce the minimum build
time towards the NixOS test, at no cost.
If you want to run all tests, build all attributes.
While we don't have any easy way to forcibly notify everyone about the
impending breakage (or forcibly migrate the users on their system),
this script enables those who do hear about the problem to migrate
their systems before they take the macOS update.
It should also enable people who only discover it after the update
when a build fails to ~fix their installs without a full reinstall.
This ensures just `nix build`-ing the flake doesn't forget to run all
tests. One can still specifiy specific attributes to just build one
thing.

Now that we can run all tests with Meson, we want developers making code
changes to use it.
(Only the manual needs to be built with the build system, and that will
change shortly.)
This reverts commit b0bc2a97bf.
As discussed in our meeting, we should use a simplified version for the
libraries without the date or commit hash. This will make rebuilding a
lot faster in many cases.
Progress on #10379
