See: cl/4840
When importing Python modules, we include `functional2` in the module
path, like this:
from functional2.testlib.fixtures.env import ManagedEnv
This means that python expects to see a file like
`functional2/testlib/fixtures/env.py`. We run `pytest` from `tests/` in
the `justfile` and have `tests/functional2/__init__.py` so `pytest` in
`meson` is able to find these imports.
However, language servers generally consider the `pyproject.toml` to be
the project root, so (e.g.) `pyright` is unable to follow any of the
`functional2` imports, leading to lots of spurious errors.
In cl/4840 I moved `tests/functional2/pyproject.toml` to
`tests/pyproject.toml`, which worked but was considered aesthetically
unappealing.
This diff is much larger but it's a more elegant solution.

Fixes#838.
xattrs were historically disabled in 2017, since then, NFS v4.2 gained
support for xattrs and almost all filesystems support xattrs. In
addition, moving the build directory to a xattrs-supporting filesystem
is always an option. Programs may exploit xattrs (including ACLs) during
their build process and testing phase, to better serve these programs,
we will remove this limitation.
Lix will use POSIX ACLs for its UNIX domain sockets in the future and be
one of these programs which will run tests making use of xattrs, while
not writing any xattrs in the derivation outputs themselves.
xattrs are still scrubbed from derivation outputs so it is not possible
to obtain an advantage by writing a security-related xattr to a well
chosen file.
Tests were added to test these scenarios on Linux. Darwin is carefully
excluded because of #1008 and #1090, solving that is welcome. In the
meantime, they are marked xfail.
