to infer what a thread is by reading the stack trace? It's not hard, but

This allows <lix/*> includes to work from external projects not taking
Lix as a buildInput with Nix, but just using pkg-config.
Change-Id: I5b24fd0981344b013beaf406c16988dad17f0edb
These are still supported externally with pkg-config, but this commit
ensures they no longer build internally.

Context: we have include paths that are "types.hh" and similarly common
names. We currently have these compatibly available as
"lix/libutil/types.hh" externally but *not yet internally*. This is
because we don't have any way for the src directory to appear as
`"lix/"` from inside of Lix: the lix/ include directory is created by
the install process.
The goal of this whole thing is to make it clearer which component of
Lix that files are a part of, which should hopefully help at least a
little bit to new developers. One disadvantage of un-mixing these is
that it will cause some API changes if we ever move a file between
libraries, but that is not very common, and we don't care that much
about external API users.
This was planned for a while and is why we have a FixIncludes check to
begin with.
Personally I don't see a great benefit in rearranging our source code,
and in fact, it would probably be counterproductive:
- Moving the includes into a separate `include/` directory would just
make developers have to deal with more directories, when we can
already generate the desired layout through the build process.
- This would also decouple the .cc and .hh files which currently
conventionally have each others' definitions and declarations
respectively, right next to each other, making it easier for them to
feel decoupled and diverge.
Content: Add ../include as an include directory so that lix/ in include
paths will resolve to src/ within Lix itself, just as it does externally
today. This prepares for a further series of commits applying the actual
change to each library one-by-one by accepting both include versions at
once.
This could have been done with ../ and a symlink called lix, but we
would like to not accept libexpr/foo.hh internally for it would be
broken externally, so we need an otherwise empty directory for the
include.

Daemon client handler processes are forked off of the main nix process
and thus will not have a signal handler thread anymore. This leads to a
high likelihood of bustage, since the Worker infrastructure expects the
interrupt infrastructure to actually, you know, work, to be able to get
interrupted.
The expected behaviour after fork is either:
- Start a signal handler thread if you expect to do complicated things
that need ReceiveInterrupts.
- Call restoreProcessContext and don't handle signals specially
otherwise.

- not setting the correct cmake build type
- not setting the correct cxxflags to build the coroutine library
- not building with clang (required for the coroutine library since gcc

Notably, this is *not* in the main thread, so this implies that the
thread didn't get joined properly before their destructors got called.
That, in turn, should have only possibly happened because join() threw
on a previous iteration of the loop joining threads, I think. Or if it
threw while in the ThreadPool destructor. Either way we had better stop
letting Interrupted fall out of our child threads!
If:
- Interrupted was thrown inside the action in the main thread: it would
have fallen out of doWork if state->exception was already set and got
caught by ThreadPool::process, calling shutdown() and the join loop
which would crash the process entirely.
- Interrupted was thrown inside the action on a secondary thread: it
would have been caught and put into the exception field and then
possibly rethrown to fall out of the thread (since it was previously
ignoreExceptionExceptInterrupt).
The one possible hole in this hypothesis is that there is an "error
(ignored)" line in there implying that at least one Interrupted got
eaten by an ignoreExceptionInDestructor. It's also unclear whether this
got reordered because of stderr buffering.

There is absolutely no good reason these should show up in NARs besides

This also rewrites a lot of the command handling in the fixtures
library, since we want to more precisely control which way that the nix
store is set up in the tests, rather than the previous method of
renaming /nix/store to some temp dir (which allows builds but does not
allow any /nix/store paths or stability across runs, which is a
significant issue for snapshot testing).
It uses a builder to reduce the amount of state carelessly thrown
around.
The evil NARs are inspired by CVE-2024-45593

These stack traces kind of suck for the reasons mentioned on the
CppTrace page here (no symbols for inline functions is a major one):
https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace
I would consider using CppTrace if it were packaged, but to be honest, I
think that the more reasonable option is actually to move entirely to
out-of-process crash handling and symbolization.
The reason for this is that if you want to generate anything of
substance on SIGSEGV or really any deadly signal, you are stuck in
async-signal-safe land, which is not a place to be trying to run a
symbolizer. LLVM does it anyway, probably carefully, and chromium *can*
do it on debug builds but in general uses crashpad:
https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:base/debug/stack_trace_posix.cc;l=974;drc=82dff63dbf9db05e9274e11d9128af7b9f51ceaa;bpv=1;bpt=1
However, some stack traces are better than *no* stack traces when we get
mystery exceptions falling out the bottom of the program. I've also
promoted the path for "mystery exceptions falling out the bottom of the
program" to hard crash and generate a core dump because although there's
been some months since the last one of these, these are nonetheless
always *atrociously* diagnosed.
We can't improve the crash handling further until either we use Crashpad
(which involves more C++ deps, no thanks) or we put in the ostensibly
work in progress Rust minidump infrastructure, in which case we need to
finish full support for Rust in libutil first.

This caused an infinite loop before since it would just keep asking the
underlying source for more data.
In practice this happened because an HTTP server served a
response to a HEAD request (for which curl will not retrieve any body or
call our write callback function) with Content-Encoding: br, leading to
decompressing nothing at all and going into an infinite loop.
This adds a test to make sure none of our compression methods do that
again, as well as just patching the HTTP client to never feed empty data
into a compression algorithm (since they absolutely have the right to
throw CompressionError on unexpectedly-short streams!).

- Some driveby header dependency cleaning which wound up with doing some
extra fixups.
- Fucking C style casts, man. C++ made these 1000% worse by letting you
also do memory corruption with them with references.
- Remove casts to Expr * where ExprBlackHole is an incomplete type by
introducing an explicitly-cast eBlackHoleAddr as Expr *.
- An incredibly illegal cast of the text bytes of the StorePath hash
into a size_t directly. You can't DO THAT.
Replaced with actually parsing the hash so we get 100% of the bits
being entropy, then memcpying the start of the hash. If this shows
up in a profile we should just make the hash parser faster with a
lookup table or something sensible like that.
- This horrendous bit of UB which I thankfully slapped a deprecation
warning on, built, and it didn't trigger anywhere so it was dead

inline void mkString(const Symbol & s)
{

suspicious-sizeof lint triggered by the template being instantiated
with only pointers, but the calculation being correct for both

nixpkgs delivered us the untimely gift of a meson 1.5 upgrade, which
*does* make our lives easier by allowing us to delete wrap generation
code, but it does so at the cost of renaming all rust crates in such a
way that the wrap logic cannot tolerate the new names on the old meson
version 😭.
It also means that support burden for this is going to be atrocious
until we either give in and vendor meson 1.5 or we make a CI target for
it. Neither seems appealing, though the latter is not super absurd for
ensuring we don't break nixpkgs unstable.
This commit causes meson 1.5 to ignore the .wrap files in subprojects/
entirely (since they have the wrong names lol) and instead use
Cargo.lock, so it now hard-depends on our workspace reshuffling

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.

We're going for Dragon's Breath because horrors called dibs on it.
It's fine to merge this a little before the final release, since all the
dev versions have -pre in them anyway.

This also fixes the script to not pass pre-commit by failing to parse an
int if this mistake is made again.

* changes:
sqlite: add a Use::fromStrNullable
util: implement charptr_cast
tree-wide: fix a pile of lints
refactor: make HashType and Base enum classes for type safety
build: integrate clang-tidy into CI
This lets us ensure that nobody is putting in new reinterpret_cast
instances where they could safely use charptr_cast instead.

There were several usages of the raw sqlite primitives along with C
style casts, seemingly because nobody thought to use an optional for
getting a string or NULL.
Let's fix this API given we already *have* a wrapper.

I don't like having so many reinterpret_cast statements that have to
actually be looked at to determine if they are UB. A huge number of the
reinterpret_cast instances in Lix are actually casting to some pointer
of some character type, which is always valid no matter the source type.
However, it is also worth looking at if it is not casting both *from* a
character type and also *to* a character type, since IMO splatting a
struct into a character array should be a very deliberate action instead
of just being about dealing with bad APIs.
So let's write a template that encapsulates this invariant so we can
not worry about the trivially safe reinterpret_cast invocations.

This:
- Converts a bunch of C style casts into C++ casts.
- Removes some very silly pointer subtraction code (which is no more or
less busted on i686 than it began)
- Fixes some "technically UB" that never had to be UB in the first
place.
- Makes finally follow the noexcept status of the inner function. Maybe
in the future we should ban the function from not being noexcept, but
that is not today.
- Makes various locally-used exceptions inherit from std::exception.

This still has utterly unacceptably bad output format design that I
would not inflict on anyone I like, but it *does* now exist, and you
*can* find the errors in the log.
Future work would obviously be to fix that and integrate the actual
errors into Gerrit using codechecker or so.

This was broken because gerrit requires that the revision actually
is known before it is pushed as a tag.
Also, arguably this fixes the original problem mentioned in
https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/439
