regnat d90f9d4b99 Fix IFD with CA derivations
Rewrite the string taken by the IFD-like primops to contain the actual
output paths of the derivations rather than the placeholders

pennae 09b245690a bulk-allocate Value instances in the evaluator
calling GC_malloc for each value is significantly more expensive than
allocating a bunch of values at once with GC_malloc_many. "a bunch" here
is a GC block size, ie 16KiB or less.

this gives a 1.5% performance boost when evaluating our nixos system.

tested with

nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'

 # on master

  Time (mean ± σ):      3.335 s ±  0.007 s    [User: 2.774 s, System: 0.293 s]
  Range (min … max):    3.315 s …  3.347 s    50 runs

 # with this change

  Time (mean ± σ):      3.288 s ±  0.006 s    [User: 2.728 s, System: 0.292 s]

Eelco Dolstra 81e7c40264 Optimize primop calls
We now parse function applications as a vector of arguments rather
than as a chain of binary applications, e.g. 'substring 1 2 "foo"' is
parsed as

  ExprCall { .fun = <substring>, .args = [ <1>, <2>, <"foo"> ] }

rather than

  ExprApp (ExprApp (ExprApp <substring> <1>) <2>) <"foo">

This allows primops to be called immediately (if enough arguments are
supplied) without having to allocate intermediate tPrimOpApp values.

On

  $ nix-instantiate --dry-run '<nixpkgs/nixos/release-combined.nix>' -A nixos.tests.simple.x86_64-linux

this gives a substantial performance improvement:

  user CPU time:      median =      0.9209  mean =      0.9218  stddev =      0.0073  min =      0.9086  max =      0.9340  [rejected, p=0.00000, Δ=-0.21433±0.00677]
  elapsed time:       median =      1.0585  mean =      1.0584  stddev =      0.0024  min =      1.0523  max =      1.0623  [rejected, p=0.00000, Δ=-0.20594±0.00236]

because it reduces the number of tPrimOpApp allocations from 551990 to
42534 (i.e. only small minority of primop calls are partially
applied) which in turn reduces time spent in the garbage collector.

regnat af99941279 Make experimental-features a proper type
Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole
codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features.

This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
  (making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
  experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
  enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
  of it.

libexpr: throw a more helpful eval-error if a builtin is not available due to a missing feature-flag
I found it somewhat confusing to have an error like

    error: attribute 'getFlake' missing

if the required experimental-feature (`flakes`) is not enabled. Instead,
I'd expect Nix to throw an error just like it's the case when using e.g. `nix
flake` without `flakes` being enabled.

With this change, the error looks like this:

    $ nix-instantiate -E 'builtins.getFlake "nixpkgs"'
    error: Cannot call 'builtins.getFlake' because experimental Nix feature 'flakes' is disabled. You can enable it via '--extra-experimental-features flakes'.

           at «string»:1:1:

                1| builtins.getFlake "nixpkgs"
                 | ^

I didn't use `settings.requireExperimentalFeature` here on purpose
because this doesn't contain a position. Also, it doesn't seem as if we
need to catch the error and check for the missing feature here since
this already happens at evaluation time.

Robert Hensing 8bc76acc7c Move vCallFlake into EvalState
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.
