using result types in capnp is fraught. while it makes some sense for
interfaces that need neither streaming nor pipelining and can provide
much better error fidelity there it's also fundamentally incompatible
with those that *do* need streaming or pipelining: streams will never
be stopped early unless an exception flies, and pipelines cannot look
through result types. likely the best thing we can do is to encode an
error for transport in the capnp/kj exception description strings. :(

In messages printed by the evaluator, we use showType(.) to say things
like "expected X, got Y" where X, Y can be string, string with context,
etc.
After changes in the Lix data model (pointer tagging and friends), paths
got squished inside a internal string type.
We missed updating `showType` to take this fact into account which
caused an unfortunate:
`error: expected a string but found a string with context:
/nix/store/wjf8rdpp63rhyasbzc7zfms1agf7pwyd-source`
while using a path on `builtins.getContext`
A test is added.

This will probably get the implementation of the fixtures revised when
we land the new extraction code, but we are setting it up to be generic
against that.
The operator-> thing is kind of a crime. But it also makes the code
vastly more readable so it's impossible to say if it's bad or not.

The variant has on the left-hand side the topologically sorted vector
and the right-hand side is a pair showing the path and its parent that
represent a cycle in the graph making the sort impossible.
The goal is to implement #551 which needs to throw an error if the
topo-sort fails. However, the error-message is supposed to contain a
graph of store-paths and the API to generate this is inherently async.
Now, catching the exception and re-throwing another one is impossible
since `co_await` is forbidden in `catch`-blocks and adding another
topoSort variant that allows an async `makeError` also seems odd. Hence,
I decided to alter the data-structure in use a bit for this use-case.
One out of two uses of the function are affected after all.

`connect-timeout` gets replaced by an exponential backoff for the
download timeout where the initial value is controlled by the setting
`initial-connect-timeout`.
Per iteration, the upper limit of the timeout is increased set to
timeout := min(max_connect_timeout, initial_connect_timeout * 2^i)
I decided to move the entire timeout / tracking of attempts into its own
class to not make the filetransfer implementation more complex. Also,
that allows us to write unit-tests for it.
Setting `--download-attempts` to `0` is forbidden now and an exception
will be thrown. For `--offline` we set it to `1`, the behavior is
equivalent to what it was before: whether the max tries were exceeded is
only checked after the first download exception got thrown, i.e. there's
still one attempt being made.
The end-result - with timeouts being caused by a wrongly set proxy -
looks like this:
$ env HTTPS_PROXY=1.1.1.1 nix store ping --store https://example.com

Some of the Lix libraries always need to be linked in full due to their
reliance on static initializers. This was achieved internally using link_whole,
but they are still easy to abuse by external users who manually need to
remember passing linker flags such as `--whole-archive` (GNU) or `-force_load`
(Apple), and the obvious way to shove it in pkg-config breaks Meson due to
potentially including a library's flags multiple times, and then deduplicating
only the file names leaving a stale `-force_load` around causing trouble.
Instead we now "prelink" the static libraries, by merging them into one object
file. Since the static linker will always link entire object files, this will
have the same effect as whole-archive linking (except the library won't be
included if it's completely unused, which should not cause trouble since it's
unused after all, and dynamic libraries behave the same way). Unfortunately
Meson's native prelink functionality cannot be used due to missing (non-Apple)
Clang support [1], so write our own one. While not particularly portable, it
should work with Clang which is the only officially supported compiler, as well
as GCC.

this is an equivalent of the regular kj read interface which also takes
a min/max pair. we do not need this very often though, so we'll keep it
as a separate method for now. if we do find we use it more than read we
can still rename read to readSingle and readRange to read. we will see.

the rpc transition will require sync and async objects to share a single
io buffer (since defining serializers on async is an immense pain in the
tail, slow, and ultimately not necessary). a generic buffer class allows
us to reuse existing serializers more readily (reuse them at all, even).

the old protocols are largely untested, mostly unused, and have design
problems that make the RPC transition a lot harder, if not impossible.
in theory we could ship a transparent protocol-converting proxy that'd
isolate the daemon itself from old protocol versions, but that's a lot
of code to maintain for presumably little gain or even no gain at all.

This teaches `filterANSIEscapes()` how to find the end of an OSC
sequence. It also keeps OSC 8 (hyperlinks) when not instructed to filter
out all escapes, just as it keeps colors.
This also relaxes the parsing of CSI escapes to find the end of the
sequence for invalid sequences, and handles better escapes that don't
start CSI or OSC.
This fixes the repl output for `:doc builtins.fetchGit`.

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.

We will link to boehm inside of the test suite if it depends on libexpr
but we don't need it for other tests.
For anything linking to libexpr internally, just like externally, it
needs to link to boehm.
Likewise with kj and libutil (or really any lix), so we should just make
it automatic.

The code for serialization Expr nodes back into (pseudo-)Nix has been
removed for being subtly error-prone and tedious to maintain. Instead,
`nix-instantiate --parse` now prints a JSON representation of the AST.
Usage patterns of the --parse flag I've found in the wild:
1. Check if a file is well-formed, i.e. discard output and test exit code
2. Get parser errors from a file, i.e. discard stdout and use stderr
3. Nixfmt uses --parse to test equivalence pre/post format, and that property is (should be?) preserved
None of these should break with the current change

This moves the "legacy"/"nix2" commands under a new `src/legacy/`
directory, instead of being scattered around in a bunch of different
directories.
A new `liblegacy` build target is defined, and the `nix` binary is
linked against it.
Then, `RegisterLegacyCommand` is replaced with `LegacyCommand::add`
calls in functions like `registerNixCollectGarbage()`. These
registration functions are called explicitly in `src/nix/main.cc`.

primarily intended as an intermediate concurrency limiting device in
the Worker code, but it may find other uses over time. we do not use
std::counting_semaphore as a base because the counter of that is not

operations for cross-thread consistency since we don't have multiple

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 will be the basis of non-boost coroutines in lix. anything that is
a boost coroutine *should* be representable with a Generator coroutine,
and many things that are not currently boost coroutines but behave much
like one (such as, notably, serializers) should be as well. this allows
us to greatly simplify many things that look like iteration but aren't.

The libcmd unit test creates files (more specifically, the fetcher cache) in
its home directory. In the single-user sandbox, this leads to the creation of
/homeless-shelter, since this is the default HOME and the root is writable.
Unfortunately, this conflicts with the assumption of the functional tests that
this directory does not exist. Use a different home directory to prevent these
test failures, and thus restore the ability to build inside the single-user
sandbox.
