This is mostly to deal with fatal errors in NixOS tests, but it's useful
for all cases; assertion failures landing in syslog would be nice too,
but that's not as easy to do.

This also adds documentation for it in distributed-builds.md as that's
possibly the most common use-case for remote ssh stores
Support for `std::optional<uint16_t>` in Setting is also added since
setting a port is optional.
The line `#include "lix/libutil/strings.hh"` fixes that templates instanciations
in lix/libutil/config-impl.hh were using string utils without including
the header (why are they even there btw)

also mark the sync version as NeverAsync. a blocking wait on sqlite
locks in a coroutine may never finish if it's a different coroutine
on the same executor that is holding the lock, not another process.
this propagates to the sqlite core interface, but no further. we'll
assume that caches do not block on a database for very long, and we
can't reasonably propagate never-async-ness out of stores unless we
touch everything we'd touch for the async transition, again, twice.
store code already assumes that it can block for however long it'll
feel like that moment. we keep thread pools around for this reason.

There's an `aio.blockOn` missing to resolve the promise. Also added a
test to verify that the GC roots are created as expected.

This exposes the `pytest` suite as a Nix build. Previously, this didn't
exist and upstream just runs this in GHA. As a result, the test was
actually broken since the assumptions about the directory structure have
changed.
To not require network access, the nixpkgs used by the Lix flake is
injected into the test. The evaluation will be done in a chroot store
since the `openStore` call would otherwise need write access to
/nix/store.

For the user manual, we don't delete things that are missing when doing
aws s3 sync. This doesn't seem wise. If you delete a page in the manual,
it will stay public and visible.
This adds `--delete` to the `aws s3 sync` commands to fix this issue.
Closes#396

this does not change the API exposed by the library, so it'll be safe
for users to substitute stock capnp. we do want it for our own builds
though, at least until we can switch to capnp 2 or fully go for rust.

4138fc7622 mistakenly removed an early
exit from non-main worker threads. this led to exceptions not ending
`process()` calls in a timely manner and instead draining the entire
work queue first, which for e.g. Interrupted errors would cause many
duplicated reports per worker thread instead of only one per thread.
it also did not properly rethrow a work item exception in all cases,
e.g. when all work had completed by the time `process()` was called.
due to a mistake in the thread starting check it was possible that a
system would require n² work items to start n worker threads if some
work items process quickly enough while other items block for a bit.

* changes:
fix: pre-build-hook did not run when useChroot == false
libstore/build: say what was failing when pre/post build hooks fail
daemon: complain much louder about unknown std::exception instances falling out
The lix daemon wants to avoid orphan processes outliving a lix build.
In order to do that it kills all processes under the build user's UID
after and before a build.
When using sandboxes under Linux, this is unecessary, as builds are run
inside a PID namespace, which guarantees that processes cannot outlive
the "init" process.

Upgrading a read transaction to a write transaction will immediately
fail if another connection/process started a write transaction in the
meantime. For transactions that we expect to perform a write after a
read, starting with `BEGIN IMMEDIATE` gives us a write transaction
immediately instead of beginning with a read transaction and upgrading
it.

It turns out there is actually some history here.
Eight years ago, in 7f5b750b40, the
pre-build-hook condition got changed to check that useChroot is true
(which we will put down as "eelco making a mistake" because it makes no
sense) and that this->drv was a Derivation (as opposed to a
BasicDerivation as would be the case if the derivation was not present
on disk). The intent of this change was that pre-build-hook would not
run when the derivation doesn't exist, so that some hydras would not
explode.
However, this broke later when both cases became Derivation such that
AFAICT it will always run it if useChroot is true, which is absolutely
not the intended behaviour, but it is a reasonable interpretation as
well, just inconvenient for certain pre-build-hook usages.
So, I think the safest and most compatible behaviour is to run the
pre-build-hook but not guarantee that the derivation actually exists on
disk, since it already didn't run in many cases. Maybe the more correct
way is to actually write out the derivation if we are running a
pre-build-hook, but post-build-hook has exactly the same situation and
it's expected, so idk.

Also, I've updated `fetchTarball`'s docs to explain the allowed values
for the `sha256` attribute.

Using time_t meant a warning could be printed arbitrarily soon depending
on when the second rolled over relative to when the SQLite transaction
was attempted.

the two instances that used synchronous locking from promises weren't in
danger of deadlocks: both only serialized access to the sqlite database.

while these two are currently safe using synchronous mutexes we can't
easily guarantee this forever. since we have async mutexes too now we
may as well use them; the overhead they incur is small enough that we
can just ignore it here. this can be revisited later, when necessary.

we can't use Sync with stl mutex types since yielding from one coroutine
to another while holding a lock is a deadlock hazard. if we don't expose
blocking lock operations from Sync though and emulate blocking with more
promises we can reuse most of the Sync code instead of rewriting it all.
hiding them completely would make it impossible to migrate current users
to promise-based code though, so we use our new NeverAsync lint instead.

gc tryLocks first, then deletes. we can use the same order since there's
no sequence of operations that would let us lock our new directory *and*
have the gc delete it (except outright bugs). the worst possible outcome
is that we create a few directories that'll be deleted by a later gc run
