Description
See https://github.com/jeroen/V8/blob/master/configure#L17-L35 and https://github.com/jeroen/V8/blob/gh-pages/get-v8-linux.sh#L10-L41 for reference, though we'll do this in nixlibs.R not bash.
- Rather than switching on distro-version and maintaining a csv map of compatible versions, check for the features of the current system.
- Check arch before downloading and only download for x86 (until some future time when we build arm or other binaries).
- Check if C++ compiler is gcc < 5, use centos 7 gcc 4.8 binary for that case
- Else, check for openssl and curl, bail if not found (non-centos7 binaries require them for aws-sdk support)
- Else, check openssl version, use ubuntu 22.04 if openssl >= 3, else use ubuntu 18.04
- Add an allowlist of distro id that has binary downloading by default (V8 downloads static libs by default on ubuntu and centos); this should perhaps download from a URL so that we can add/remove distros from the list based on feedback from the wild (and if download of that list fails, we can't download a binary anyway, so this would double as a test for whether we have a network connection)
