feat(tools/emacs-pkgs): Add new builder for internal packages r/2503

Adds a new internal builder that makes it possible to override the
`emacsPackages` passed to our Emacs packages, which in turn makes it
possible to inject them into the emacsPackages fixpoint and use them
with features like Emacs native compilation.
