srcOnly: rename buildInputs to nativeBuildInputs
The only reason to pass build inputs is to extend the unpackPhase with
custom unpack commands. Eg: add "unrar" to unpack rar sources. And those
should really be passed as native build inputs. Why? Because
nativeBuildInputs is for dependencies that are used at build time but
will not propagate as runtime dependencies. And also, cross-compilation.

# srcOnly is a utility builder that only fetches and unpacks the given `src`,
# maybe pathings it in the process with the optional `patches` and
# `buildInputs` attributes.
#
# It can be invoked directly, or be used to wrap an existing derivation. Eg:
#
# > srcOnly pkgs.hello
#
{ name

, stdenv ? orig.stdenv
, patches ? []
, # deprecated, use the nativeBuildInputs
buildInputs ? []
, # used to pass extra unpackers
nativeBuildInputs ? []
, # needed when passing an existing derivation
