Qyriad d9ecb5301e build: cargo entrypoint II
This is a second attempt at https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/5516

instead of letting meson try to be cargo we'll just have cargo at home.
this requires some contortions to link everything together due to quite
a few meson deficiencies, but at the end we get to pretend that rust is
just c++ painted orange. we'll use cxx to bring real interop back soon.

also fixes #1230
also reverts 10845bfe63

Commentator2.0 f65b83df3b treefmt/ruff: extract ruff config from f2 to global state
So far, our ruff config was confined to the f2 package. This meant, that
when one added additional paths to the ruff formatter, those wouldn't
get the same rules applied as f2, resulting in inconsistent styling
thoughout the project.

Due to how configs are resolved, only the "closesed" pyproject toml is
considered. This means, we need to tell f2 to extend its configuration
with the base level one. Though no change is required for other parts of
the project, as long as they don't have their own pyproject.toml

eldritch horrorsandjade b0d7a81613 fix tooling after include reorganization
clangd broke because it can't look through symlinks. compile_commands
manipulation does not fix it, clangd configuration does not fix it, a
vfs overlay does not fix it, and while a combination of those can fix
it with a bind mount in place that's just too cursed to even consider

Alois Wohlschlager 21fc0ddce5 libutil: generate experimental and deprecated features from data
Currently, a bunch of documentation is generated by embedding parts of it in
the nix executable, getting it out again by running it, and then postprocessing
the output. This is bad, since it creates a pointless dependency of the
documentation on the executable, and also makes documentation generation
impossible when cross-compiling.
Instead, both the code and the documentation should be generated from data, see
https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/292 . Here we start applying
this approach to the experimental and deprecated features, which are done in
one go since the technical implementation is very similar.
Of course, the actual benefits are not realised yet, since the offending
pattern is used in several more places. These will be fixed later.

Qyriad 95863b258b build: build lix-doc with Meson! 🎉
lix-doc is now built with Meson, with lix-doc's dependencies built as
Meson subprojects, either fetched on demand with .wrap files, or fetched
in advance by Nix with importCargoLock. It even builds statically.

Fixes #256.

Jade Lovelace 3775b6ac88 package: remove unused autotools code, empty file
I noticed there was some stuff setting configureFlags that definitely do
not do anything with meson, so let's rip them out.

As for the empty file, it was added when I was thinking I needed a fake
C++ target to convince meson to create the necessary dependencies. That
was not in fact possible so it should have never been committed.

Jade Lovelace 3daeeaefb1 build: implement clang-tidy using our plugin
The principle of this is that you can either externally build it with
Nix (actual implementation will be in a future commit), or it can be
built with meson if the Nix one is not passed in.

The idea I have is that dev shells don't receive the one from Nix to
avoid having to build it, but CI can use the one from Nix and save some
gratuitous rebuilds.

The design of this is that you can run `ninja -C build clang-tidy` and
it will simply correctly clang-tidy the codebase in spite of PCH
bullshit caused by the cc-wrapper.

This is a truly horrendous number of hacks in a ball, caused by bugs in
several pieces of software, and I am not even getting started.

I don't consider this to fix the clang-tidy issue filing, since we still
have a fair number of issues to fix even on the existing minimal
configuration, and I have not yet implemented it in CI. Realistically we
will need to do something like https://github.com/Ericsson/codechecker
to be able to silence warnings without physically touching the code, or
at least *diff* reports between versions.

Also, the run-clang-tidy output design is rather atrocious and must
not be inflicted upon anyone I have respect for, since it buries the
diagnostics in a pile of invocation logs. We would do really well to
integrate with the Gerrit SARIF stuff so we can dump the reports on
people in a user-friendly manner.

eldritch horrors e6cd67591b libexpr: rewrite the parser with pegtl instead of flex/bison
this gives about 20% performance improvements on pure parsing. obviously
it will be less on full eval, but depending on how much parsing is to be
done (e.g. including hackage-packages.nix or not) it's more like 4%-10%.

this has been tested (with thousands of core hours of fuzzing) to ensure
that the ASTs produced by the new parser are exactly the same as the old
one would have produced. error messages will change (sometimes by a lot)
and are not yet perfect, but we would rather leave this as is for later.

test results for running only the parser (excluding the variable binding
code) in a tight loop with inputs and parameters as given are promising:

  - 40% faster on lix's package.nix at 10000 iterations
  - 1.3% faster on nixpkgs all-packages.nix at 1000 iterations
  - equivalent on all of nixpkgs concatenated at 100 iterations
    (excluding invalid files, each file surrounded with parens)

more realistic benchmarks are somewhere in between the extremes, parsing
once again getting the largest uplift. other realistic workloads improve
by a few percentage points as well, notably system builds are 4% faster.

Jade LovelaceandQyriad c97e17144e packaging: rename nixexpr -> lixexpr and so on
This breaks downstreams linking to us on purpose to make sure that if
someone is linking to Lix they're doing it on purpose and crucially not
mixing up Nix and Lix versions in compatibility code.

We still need to fix the internal includes to follow the same schema so
we can drop the single-level include system entirely. However, this
requires a little more effort.

This adds pkg-config for libfetchers and config.h.

Migration path:
expr.hh      -> lix/libexpr/expr.hh
nix/config.h -> lix/config.h

To apply this migration automatically, remove all `<nix/>` from
includes, so: `#include <nix/expr.hh>` -> `#include <expr.hh>`. Then,
the correct paths will be resolved from the tangled mess, and the
clang-tidy automated fix will work.

Then run the following for out of tree projects:

```
lix_root=$HOME/lix
(cd $lix_root/clang-tidy && nix develop -c 'meson setup build && ninja -C build')
run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,lix-fixincludes' -load=$lix_root/clang-tidy/build/liblix-clang-tidy.so -p build/ -fix src
```

Qyriad 038daad218 meson: implement functional tests
Functional tests can be run with
`meson test -C build --suite installcheck`.

Notably, functional tests must be run *after* running `meson install`
(Lix's derivation runs the installcheck suite in installCheckPhase so it
does this correctly), due to some quirks between Meson and the testing
system.

As far as I can tell the functional tests are meant to be run after
installing anyway, but unfortunately I can't transparently make
`meson test --suite installcheck` depend on the install targets.

The script that runs the functional tests, meson/run-test.py, checks
that `meson install` has happened and fails fast with a (hopefully)
helpful error message if any of the functional tests are run before
installing.

TODO: this change needs reflection in developer documentation

Qyriad b4d07656ff build: optionally build and install with meson
This commit adds several meson.build, which successfully build and
install Lix executables, libraries, and headers. Meson does not yet
build docs, Perl bindings, or run tests, which will be added in
following commits. As such, this commit does not remove the existing
build system, or make it the default, and also as such, this commit has
several FIXMEs and TODOs as notes for what should be done before the
existing autoconf + make buildsystem can be removed and Meson made the
default. This commit does not modify any source files.

A Meson-enabled build is also added as a Hydra job, and to
`nix flake check`.
