Motivation for this change

This reduces the closure size (on 18.09) from ~841 to ~833 MiB; not a huge win, but given that every other library in Calibre has a lib/dev output, probably worth doing?

$ nix path-info -S /nix/store/k3mhm3a85r6x7xml9aab261mfxw8kgiv-calibre-3.30.0
/nix/store/k3mhm3a85r6x7xml9aab261mfxw8kgiv-calibre-3.30.0	  882307120
$ nix path-info -S /nix/store/gqpz53zbc90v70x8kq9smng61nh18q6a-calibre-3.30.0              
/nix/store/gqpz53zbc90v70x8kq9smng61nh18q6a-calibre-3.30.0	  874079880

In order to do this, we split podofo into multiple outputs (since podofo.dev has references to a bunch of -dev libraries itself, we need to split it into its' own output).

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Is podofo.out still there?

Nope, just podofo.lib; the .out output is all binaries and manpages. Given that, I didn't think it was worth adding it to the list of disallowedReferences, but happy to change if you think it's worth it?
