tilp: init at 1.18

[myclevorname]

TILP is a program that allows for communication with TI graphing calculators. TILP was added to Nixpkgs in 2020, but was dropped in 2022 due to its dependency on libglade, which wasn't actually necessary. Fixes CE-Programming/CEmu#507

I renamed the package to tilp due to this guideline:

• For the pname attribute:

  • It should be identical to the upstream package name.

Things done

• Built on platform(s)
  • x86_64-linux
  • aarch64-linux
  • x86_64-darwin
  • aarch64-darwin
• For non-Linux: Is sandboxing enabled in nix.conf? (See Nix manual)
  • sandbox = relaxed
  • sandbox = true
• Tested, as applicable:
  • NixOS test(s) (look inside nixos/tests)
  • and/or package tests
  • or, for functions and "core" functionality, tests in lib/tests or pkgs/test
  • made sure NixOS tests are linked to the relevant packages
• Tested compilation of all packages that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review rev HEAD". Note: all changes have to be committed, also see nixpkgs-review usage
• Tested basic functionality of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
• 25.05 Release Notes (or backporting 24.11 and 25.05 Release notes)
  • (Package updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is major or breaking
  • (Module updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is significant
  • (Module addition) Added a release notes entry if adding a new NixOS module
• Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

In principle you could add an update script, but maybe it is pointless given how long it has been since there was an update

rev="refs/tags/${finalAttrs.version}"

libti*/gfm/tilp keep evolving, and 1.18 is ancient by now... but I seldom make releases, I know :)
Some distros package the Git master HEAD - and rightfully so.

sure, but in that case you shouldn't be declaring the version as 1.18, which is not a true statement in the PR as it stands

Another issue here is that we may not accept new gtk2 apps because gtk2 has long deprecated, and we are also working on removing or updating gtk2 packages.

I did the bulk of the work porting the code of TILP to GTK+3 in 2013-2014. However, this work has always remained on a non-default branch, and apart from the secondary computer where I did that porting and initial testing work, I kept using the GTK+2 version myself, because of the historic Windows build.
Now that Linux distros are removing GTK+2, and a new Windows build is being improved, I should just finish integrating the GTK+3 work to the main branch, and use the GTK+3 version myself.
