Previously this was done rather hackily using substituteInPlace in
postFetch, however I've since found out that the way goreleaser does it
is actually quite accessible, since it just calls go with the
appropriate -X flags.
To avoid having to call git in the build to obtain the values and to not
rely on leaveDotGit, we can use the JSON populated by nix-prefetch-git
which contains the extra information we need: the commit hash and the
date.
The parentheses prevent the `continue` line from working by running the
enclosed in a subshell -- I noticed that ZFS would start asking me for
my password to encrypted child datasets, even though they were not
specified in `requestEncryptionCredentials`. The following logs would
also be present in the import unit's journal:

While at it:
- updated package description (and mention DEPRECATED upstream status)
- switched to .xz tarball
- dropped upstreamed patch
- dropped explicit checks for build result as upstream fixed it.
