Instead of allocating a new Value and copy the symbol string
representation inside of it, we can pass along the underlying Value,
which avoids (garbage collected) allocations.
This results in:
* a ~8 % reduction for `gc.totalBytes` over
`nixos.ec2.closures.x86_64-linux` for NixOS 24.11. (920MiB → 842MiB)
* a slight reduction in CPU time due to less allocations being performed
at all

The backing storage for symbols becomes a class storing a Value and a
string.
The Value is itself a string which contents points to the owned string.
Recovering a `SymbolStr` is still possible.

The symbol table will contain types that encloses a Value, thus, it
needs to depend upon the Value header, whereas the Value header depends
on `Symbol` for typedefs.
We move the typedefs in the place where they are used.

`fetchGit` has been modified a long time ago to use fetchTree, however,
we don't care about `lastModified` because we are not in a flake
context, this hack introduces a `git-locked` type of input that only
cares about `narHash` being present. This is needed to avoid fetching
the remote repo each time `fetchGit` is evaluated whith the result
present in the store.

This introduces a new (demanded?) feature for coercing integers in
interpolation arguments under the experimental feature
`coerce-integers`.
This feature is being introduced behind an *experimental feature flag*
due to the cautious approach we're taking. The codebase has a track
record of revealing unexpected behaviors, often in subtle ways, so we
want to give this sufficient time and exposure before making it stable.
To remove the experimental flag, we want to see **at least two releases
or six months of real-world usage -- whichever is longer** -- that
demonstrate strong confidence the feature doesn't introduce regressions
or unintended side effects. If that level of confidence is reached,
we'll proceed to stabilize it.

we no longer need placeholders to represent all derivation output paths
as string context, and thus will not need experimental features either.

we can't create these any more except by reading an old json-formatted
derivation that used them. since we cannot do anything with a deferred
derivation even when read we will remove json support for them as well

now that we have no deferred hashes (since floating ca derivations were
the only way to create them) we can safely remove this enumeration too.

`ExprConcatStrings` tracks whether the expression is an interpolation or
not via an obscure boolean called `forceString`.
Instead, we rename it to `isInterpolation`.
This is a breaking change for the JSON AST representation.

Inspired by cl/3191 and
https://git.lix.systems/delroth/lix/commit/ae0247cbb4fc739ab013dc87d02e5f3191cf25ab.
`coerceToString` takes now an enumeration that lives in `value.hh`, this
enumeration is meant to represent increasing subsets of behaviors, e.g.
any level above Strict should do what the previous levels do and extra
behavior until `ToString`, which transforms many Nix values into an
arbitrary string representation, e.g. `null` to `""`.

only dynamic derivations could produce a non-opaque drvPath. since
dynamic derivations are no longer supported we can have drvPath be
opaque at all times, simplifying downstream code significantly and
making quite a few methods unnecessary. discardOutputPath was only
called on drvPath members anyway and thus reduces to a copy, other
operations at the very least are no longer recursive. some vestige
of dynamic derivations remains in DerivedPathMap though (for now).

string context doesn't need any tests because it's never persisted or
shown to the user. getting rid of recursive string context means that
the context string parsers can be a lot simpler from here on forward.

only dynamic derivation produce text-hashed derivation outputs. toFile
produces text-hashed store paths, so we cannot remove text hashing now
without breaking stores, but we can disallow it in derivation outputs.

we don't remove the entire feature in one go to make review easier.
impure derivations are rather unintrusive on their own, at least if
we compare them to dynamic or ca derivations in general, so we will
be done with this soon. as it stands impure derivations cannot work
without ca derivations, and those we *really* want to leave behind.

Documentation for the output of `builtins.fetchGit`.
In particular this includes details on the both `lastModifiedDate` and `shortRev` which were not readily apparent.
Recommendations are made on the use of `shortRev`; it is considered stable, yet use is discouraged to avoid compatibility and interoperablity issues.

this way we don't have to even check whether we need a debug frame when
the debugger isn't enabled. not doing this gives us an eval performance
improvement of roughly 7% on nixos system eval and 2% for `nix search`.

we'll want to wrap some exprs for debug purposes, and dynamic casts
cannot look through such wrappers. dedicated casting functions can.

add a position parameter to the autocaller instead, and pass it much
more accurate position information where we have it easily available

errors for individual attrs should report the position of the attribute,
not the position of the set they were taken from (which we'll assume was
the intent here). this is already the case for most attributes, only the
the extra-special __structuredAttrs and __ignoreNulls weren't annotated.
this includes not calling atPos(v) on errors builders since the position
of v is always invalid. error messages are unchanged by this part of the
patch (and the caller adds a trace pointing to the derivation name too).

it's not useful. nix-instantiate will always point to the wrong location
because "at the toplevel" is not a position we can point to. all nesting
conversions will point to strange places: the *original* definition of a
lambda value (or partial applications thereof), or nowhere at all (since
only lambda values can have their positions determined in the formatter)
Change-Id: I56bd9e1cf3cae11b4198f148a141ca758e4fe8ac
this is much more useful than a frame pointing to the set but claiming
it as a function being called. if the function is actually at fault we
will now point to its attribute, although the position may be slightly
wrong if __toString was defined from set updates or builtin functions.

only attrsets, lambdas, and app nodes can have positions determined, and
none of these three types are incomplete. calling determinePos before we
force a value is thus only a convoluted copy operation for its argument.
