Description of changes

Fixes derivation for http-parser in a static env to install the static archive to $out/lib, based on the following issue and non-upstreamed nix solution.

Currently, pkgsStatic.http-parser only results in a shared library in $out/lib:

$ nix build nixpkgs#legacyPackages.aarch64-linux.pkgsStatic.http-parser
$ ls -l ./result/lib
total 152
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  nixbld     23  1 Jan  1970 libhttp_parser.so@ -> libhttp_parser.so.2.9.4
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  nixbld     23  1 Jan  1970 libhttp_parser.so.2.9@ -> libhttp_parser.so.2.9.4
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  nixbld  76584  1 Jan  1970 libhttp_parser.so.2.9.4*

After this change, we only have the static archive file:

$ nix build .#pkgsStatic.http-parser
$ ls -l ./result/lib
total 72
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  35448  1 Jan  1970 libhttp_parser.a
