found significant use of this feature in public configs (with all of
*two* repositories using this store parameter), so why even keep it?

frames manually added with `addErrorContext` are generally a lot more
useful/informative to the average user than other frames, esp. in
the module system, which can create much better error messages than
we can.
however, before this change, frames from addErrorContext were truncated
by default if they weren't in the first 3 frames, so they were basically
useless (with `--show-trace`, you're dredging through 250 frames of
module shenanigans just to spot one singular line).
this change also removes the frames for _the call to_ `addErrorContext`,
which is just pure noise.
the way this change is done hopefully leaves a bit of space for future
similar changes to error printing, by introducing a new `TraceKind` enum
that can be used to categorize traces (i haven't done that in this CL
because that would be a pretty herculean task, given all the calls to
`BaseError::addTrace` in the codebase, and we probably want to be
careful about what categories we choose). the actual printing code could
definitely be improved tho... (e.g. by iterating twice through the trace
stack instead to first pick out the most important traces and _then_
printing less "important" traces if there's space left)

mimalloc is a compact general purpose allocator from Microsoft. It
consistently outperforms glibc's `malloc()` in allocation-heavy
workloads, such as Lix's evaluator
It's currently only linked in the main `nix` executable, as Boehm's GC
uses its own allocator. Other allocations that *do* go through glibc's
`malloc()` are still much faster, though

string data shares a buffer with the binary string length field. size
calculations for string read buffers always include the length field;
sufficiently large length fields can cause these calculations to wrap.
a malicious nar could use this for OOB writes in the daemon (as root).
since we use strings only as tags for archive members and for symlinks
with their OS-dependent length limits we can simply limit string size.
1 MiB should be sufficient for all symlinks, and tags are always tiny.

before this change, the innermost frame was all the way at the top,
which means that in very nested code you'd have to scroll though
dozens or hundreds of frames before even seeing where you are, because
the last lines (which are immediately visible when the command returns)
would be the nix code's entry point and other outer frames instead,
which is rarely relevant.
this CL reverses this order, so that the innermost frames are the last
ones printed, and thus are immediately visible. (note that this is
already how errors are printed by nix in other contexts anyway, the
debugger's :bt is the only thing that prints the trace in "forward"
order.)
because `DebugState.traces()` use the homegrown `libutil::Generator`
instead of an stdlib container, we have to do that reversing ourselves,
in this case by just storing every element in an `std::list` (in reverse
order) and then traversing it. this is feels kinda dirty, but i don't
know any other way, and it's not exactly performance-critical.

Although the fact that some characters are illegal in derivation names
was referenced in some parts of the docs, the actual list was not
documented anywhere, and the only source of truth seems to be the
[store source code](lix/libstore/path.cc).
This adds an admonition in the `derivation` docs that specifies which
characters and strings are actually allowed (especially since some
of them can be somewhat surprising, like the string "..-foo" not
being a valid name because of `..`).

When running
nix-build ../nixpkgs --arg config.allowUnfree true -A hello-unfree
the package `hello-unfree` is now built rather than getting an
eval-error rejecting instantiation. This is because `config.allowUnfree`
is now interpreted as nested attribute-set declaration, similar to how
it's done in `nix repl`.
To prevent sudden breakage, this behavior was carefully deprecated with
Nix throwing an error if the identifier for `--arg` is not a pure
identifier, but an expression as above.
Any kind of merging is rejected. I.e. doing
nix-build ../nixpkgs --arg config '{cudaSupport = true;}' --arg config.allowUnfree true
is prohibited. That way we don't have to think about merge semantics for
cases like this (or even worse `--arg config 'rec { ... }'`). Another
nice side-effect of this is that we don't need to create an EvalState to
force the values and implement merging.

previously, `builtins.break` didn't force its argument, resulting in
a value wrapped with `break` being opaque to most builtins if not
also wrapped with `seq`. see [lix-project/lix#1165] for more details
on what this can break.
this tiny fix just adds a call to `forceValue` inside `prim_break`,
but unfortunately this "breaks" a few existing tests because it
changes the call stack; those tests' golden outputs have been adjusted
without modifying their intended purpose.

See [lix-project/lix#1156], but basically currently the `:st <n>`
debugger command doesn't allow any negative indices, and putting a plus
sign in front of the arg doesn't change anything; thus, we can exploit
that "design space" to allow users to move between different stack
frames easily, by simply prepending their arg with a +/- sign.
The actual behavior is little more nuanced when you account for errors:
as suggested by @pennae (thanks! :), when the user inputs an offset that
would result in an invalid frame index, the debugger instead clamps it
to the closest bound (i.e. 0 for negative offsets, $maxFrame for
positive ones) and just prints a warning.

currently, the `:st <n>` command in the debugger will simply silently
fail if the argument cannot be converted to an integer, or if it falls
outside the range of valid stack indices. this isn't too big of problem,
but it can be nicer to tell the user something went wrong, rather than
not give them any output and having them guess (esp. in the second case).
this commit adds two errors, one for each case:
1. the argument is not actually an integer, or is outside INT_MIN/MAX
-> "argument '%arg' is not a valid integer"
2. the argument is an integer outside the range of stack traces
-> "stack index must be between 0 and %max_frame, but was %arg"

`builtins.storePath` allows you to use "external" knowledge of present
store paths in your store to be used in your expressions.
This is sometimes used to avoid double wrapping store paths, for example
when dealing with nixpkgs sources (`builtins.storePath pkgs.path` is a
frequent pattern).
Unfortunately, using your external knowledge of present store paths is
technically impure because Flakes is about not depending on the *STATE*
of your store, no matter what you know about it or what you do to ensure
that your knowledge is accurate.
That being said, `builtins.storePath` is already possible in the
fragment of "pure Nixlang" via a clever use of `builtins.appendContext`.
Precisely:
```
storePath = path:
let path' = builtins.unsafeDiscardStringContext path;
in
# NOTE: merging the context set in all generality is impossible
because getContext on a pure path doesn't work.
builtins.appendContext path' { ${path'} = { path = true; }; };
```
works in pure contexts.
Because of this, we deem that storePath should be allowed in pure
contexts and users do not have to come up with a `storePath` polyfill.
Fixes#402.

Instead of showing untrusted configuration items one by one, collect all
of them into one batched ask with 4 options:
- apply the configuration wholesale **for now** (yes)
- apply the configuration wholesale and trust it permanently (allow
permanently)
- selectively choose subset (no)
- rejecting the configuration wholesale (no to all)
Note that we do not offer options to reject permanently a configuration,
that's what `--no-accept-flake-config` is for.
Individual prompts gain a new option to distinguish "yes for now" and
"yes forever".

In structured attrs derivations, __json is used to serialize the `env`
attribute into a JSON object.
If the derivation enables structured attributes AND specify its own
`__json`, one of the field will take precedence (the reader can have fun
by guessing which one).
To reduce underspecification, we disallow `__json` in structured
attributes derivations.

This is not ca-derivations. We don't care about self-references or any of the
rewriting or stuff like that; if you want something like that, write
your user code so it figures out where it is.
The reason I want to do this is for integrating other build systems with
Lix: if you're importing something built *outside the store* with a
non-Nix build system, it makes no sense to put it in an input-addressed
path since it's not possible to come up with a derivation for it.
But you need *some* hash, so the output hashing is the most sensible option.
It is also nice because of not needing trusted user privileges to import
it, since the hash describes the exact contents of the output path.
We use this feature (implemented externally to Lix; this CL eliminates
that step) at Mercury to integrate buck2 with Nix on the output side: we
import things to the Nix store as ca paths with references.
These can then be consumed by Nix language with:
```
# Hack from https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/402#issuecomment-5889
path:
builtins.appendContext path {
${path} = {
path = true;
};
}
```

this allows us great flexibility in how children are launched (since the
actual launching is done by a separate executable), makes fork no longer
needed in the core codebase (outside of runProgram, anyway), and we even
get to use linux vfork to its full potential to decrease the launch cost
of sandboxes to a constant factor (previously it was O(#drvs + #deps) of
the build graph, which obviously goes to n² quickly if you are unlucky.)
