Some settings only make sense on particular platforms, or only when a certain
experimental feature is enabled. Several of those were already conditionally
available. Do the same for a bunch more instead of silently ignoring them.
Exceptionally, the use-case-hack setting is not made conditional because it is
included in the test suite.

The JSON serialisation should be declared in the header so that all translation
units can see it when needed, even though it seems that it has not been used
anywhere else so far. Unfortunately, this means we cannot use the
NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM convenience macro, since it uses a slightly
different signature, but the code is not too bad either.

There have been multiple setting types for paths that are supposed to be
canonicalised, depending on whether zero or one, one, or any number of paths is
to be specified. Naturally, they behaved in slightly different ways in the
code. Simplify things by unifying them and removing special behaviour (mainly
the "multiple paths type can coerce to boolean" thing).

implementing a build hook is pretty much impossible without either being
a nix, or blindly forwarding the important bits of all build requests to
some kind of nix. we've found no uses of build-hook in the wild, and the
build-hook protocol (apart from being entirely undocumented) is not able
to convey any kind of versioning information between hook and daemon. if
we want to upgrade this infrastructure (which we do), this must not stay

This also bans various sneaking of negative numbers from the language
into unsuspecting builtins as was exposed while auditing the
consequences of changing the Nix language integer type to a newtype.
It's unlikely that this change comprehensively ensures correctness when
passing integers out of the Nix language and we should probably add a
checked-narrowing function or something similar, but that's out of scope
for the immediate change.
During the development of this I found a few fun facts about the
language:
- You could overflow integers by converting from unsigned JSON values.
- You could overflow unsigned integers by converting negative numbers
into them when going into Nix config, into fetchTree, and into flake
inputs.
The flake inputs and Nix config cannot actually be tested properly
since they both ban thunks, however, we put in checks anyway because
it's possible these could somehow be used to do such shenanigans some
other way.
Note that Lix has banned Nix language integer overflows since the very
first public beta, but threw a SIGILL about them because we run with
-fsanitize=signed-overflow -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error in
production builds. Since the Nix language uses signed integers, overflow
was simply undefined behaviour, and since we defined that to trap, it
did.
Trapping on it was a bad UX, but we didn't even entirely notice
that we had done this at all until it was reported as a bug a couple of
months later (which is, to be fair, that flag working as intended), and
it's got enough production time that, aside from code that is IMHO buggy
(and which is, in any case, not in nixpkgs) such as
https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/445, we don't think
anyone doing anything reasonable actually depends on wrapping overflow.
Even for weird use cases such as doing funny bit crimes, it doesn't make
sense IMO to have wrapping behaviour, since two's complement arithmetic
overflow behaviour is so *aggressively* not what you want for *any* kind
of mathematics/algorithms. The Nix language exists for package
management, a domain where bit crimes are already only dubiously in
scope to begin with, and it makes a lot more sense for that domain for
the integers to never lose precision, either by throwing errors if they
would, or by being arbitrary-precision.
This change will be ported to CppNix as well, to maintain language
consistency.

fix: Treat empty TMPDIR as unset
Fixes an instance of
nix: src/libutil/util.cc:139: nix::Path nix::canonPath(PathView, bool): Assertion `path != ""' failed.
... which I've been getting in one of my shells for some reason.
I have yet to find out why TMPDIR was empty, but it's no reason for
Nix to break.

Seccomp filtering and the no-new-privileges functionality improve the security
of the sandbox, and have been enabled by default for a long time. In
https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/265 it was decided that they
should be enabled unconditionally. Accordingly, remove the allow-new-privileges
(which had weird behavior anyway) and filter-syscall settings, and force the
security features on. Syscall filtering can still be enabled at build time to
support building on architectures libseccomp doesn't support.

Rather than doing `allowEmpty` as boolean, have separate types and use
`std::optional`. This makes it harder to forget the possibility of an
empty path.
The `build-hook` setting was categorized as a `PathSetting`, but
actually it was split into arguments. No good! Now, it is
`Setting<Strings>` which actually reflects what it means and how it is
used.
Because of the subtyping, we now also have support for
`Setting<std::optional<String>>` in general. I imagine this can be used
to clean up many more settings also.
Introduce what substituters "are" in the configuration option entry.
Remove arbitrary line breaks for easier editing in the future.
Link glossary some more.

The `hashed-mirrors` option did use to have this default value,
but it was removed and re-added with an empty default value.
As the autogenerated docs show the (actual) default values from code,
remove this incorrect reference from the docs.
I was updating my nix.conf settings after a few years and noticed this.
