Without this, flakes within the same tree and same lock data will have
the same fingerprint and the eval cache for one flake will be
incorrectly used for another.
Alternative to #4639. You can still read flake.lock, but at least in
reproducible workflows like NixOS configurations where you require a
non-dirty tree, evaluation will fail because there is no rev.
With --no-write-lock-file, it's possible that flake.lock is out of
sync with the actual inputs used by the evaluation. So doing fromJSON
(readFile ./flake.lock) will give wrong results.
Fixes#4639.
This fixes a use-after-free bug:
1. s = new EvalState();
2. callFlake()
3. static vCallFlake now references s
4. delete s;
5. s2 = new EvalState();
6. callFlake()
7. static vCallFlake still references s
8. crash
Nix 2.3 did not have a problem with recreating EvalState.
This fixes a class of crashes and introduces ptr<T> to make the
code robust against this failure mode going forward.
Thanks regnat for the idea of a ref<T> without overhead!

Use `$(libdir)` while installing .pc files looks like a more generic
solution. For example, it will work for distributions like RHEL or
Fedora where .pc files are installed in `/usr/lib64/pkgconfig`.
This extends https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4978 with
supporting the SCP-like urls in expressions like
```nix
builtins.fetchGit {
url = "git@github.com:NixOS/nix.git";
ref = "master";
}
```
It does not operate on a derivation and does not return a
derivation path. Instead it works at the language level,
where a distinct term "package" is more appropriate to
distinguish the parent object of `meta.position`; an
attribute which doesn't even make it into the derivation.
Some people want to avoid using registries at all on their system; Instead
of having to add --no-registries to every command, this commit allows to
set use-registries = false in the config. --no-registries is still allowed
everywhere it was allowed previously, but is now deprecated.

We need to support it for the “old” fetch* functions for backwards
compatibility, but we don’t need it for fetchTree (as it’s a new
function).
Given that changing the `name` messes-up the content hashing, we can
just forbid passing a custom `name` argument to it
