what
A new directory pkgs/sets that contains all package sets instead of having them in the deprecated category hierarchy.
why
We want to get rid of the package categories as directory trees NixOS/rfcs#140 NixOS/rfcs#146.
Package sets don't currently have somewhere to go.
how
I implemented this in #482538, feedback would be appreciated.
As a proof of concept i also move fishPlugins and nushellPlugins to this new structure in #482543.
If this gets accepted, I will also gladly move all other package sets to this new location.
