Title: Lnxstdenv refactor

Refactor the pkgs/stdenv/linux/default.nix staging logic to be more easy to read and shorter.

Then I reformulated my former zlib pull request on top of this to demonstrate that the new version is easier to change and it's easier to review changes on the new version.

This is essential, because to properly fix #3548, I'll introduce two more stages which would've made the new file even more complex and therefore the code review a hell.

Please note that the first commit doesn't changes the derivation/output hash at all, therefore we know that the refactoring is sound, then I add the zlib change in a separate commit, so the refactoring stays clean.
