Continuing on from issue 60429[0], here's a patch series that aims to improve
the package for nextpnr-ice40, a place-and-route tool for Lattice iCE40 FPGAs,
by

- Adding separate packages for implot, qtimgui and sanitizers-cmake, which are
  currently bundled with nextpnr;

- Updating its source-repository URL to use HTTPS instead of the git protocol
  (no longer supported by GitHub[1]);

- Updating it to the modern style using gexps;

- Enabling the test suite;

- Fixing the version string shown by "nextpnr-ice40 --version", which should
  match the output of "git describe --tags --always" at build time but is
  currently empty;

- Removing the bundled software and patching the source to use Guix packages
  instead; and

- Updating nextpnr-ice40 itself to version 0.5.

I've tested this on x86-64 (command line and GUI) and AArch64 (command line
only) and everything seems fine.  Note that as with Yosys, the nextpnr Web
page helpfully includes a short example of using the tool[2] for testing its
basic functionality.  (The "blinky" folder is in the nextpnr source tree.)
