Adam Joseph 81bc106e08 meta.sourceProvenance documentation: clarify it is unaffected by changes to meta.license
This commit clarifies that the meaning of the `meta.sourceProvenance`
field is independent of and unaffected by the value of the
`meta.license` field.  This is based on the intent of the RFC author
as expressed here:

  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/161098#issuecomment-1081270201

This clarification is added for two reasons:

1. If in the future there should be some disagreement about what
   `sourceProvenance` to assign to a package, this may help resolve
   the disagreement.  Any interpretation of `sourceProvenance` which
   is influenced by the `meta.license` is clearly an incorrect
   interpretation.

2. If it should turn out that it is impossible to disentangle
   `sourceProvenance` from `meta.license`, this would indicate the
   need for changes to the `sourceProvenance` scheme.  That change
   might be as simple as replacing the sentence added by this commit
   with some other sentence explaining how the two fields influence
   each other.

This commit implements the recommendation made in the paragraph of
this comments which begins with "Please say this explicitly...":

doc/python: use optional-dependencies instead of extras-require
This is the term that PEP 621 uses and it is less likely to be
misspelled.

https://peps.python.org/pep-0621/#dependencies-optional-dependencies

I was never sure if it was `extra` or `extras`, or `require` or
`requires` and finally committed a mistake in #167405.

Frederik Rietdijk 1d63f89caa cudaPackages: overhaul of how we package cuda packages
There are many different versions of the `cudatoolkit` and related
cuda packages, and it can be tricky to ensure they remain compatible.

- `cudaPackages` is now a package set with `cudatoolkit`, `cudnn`, `cutensor`, `nccl`, as well as `cudatoolkit` split into smaller packages ("redist");
- expressions should now use `cudaPackages` as parameter instead of the individual cuda packages;
- `makeScope` is now used, so it is possible to use `.overrideScope'` to set e.g. a different `cudnn` version;
- `release-cuda.nix` is introduced to easily evaluate cuda packages using hydra.
