renaming section headers and changing manually set `id`s will break URLs
in the wild.
this change allows keeping track of all changes to ensure backwards
compatibility.

From: https://man.openbsd.org/sigaction#SA_RESTART
This being set on macOS caused a bug where read() calls to the daemon
socket were blocking after a SIGINT was received. As a result,
checkInterrupt was never reached even though the signal was received
by the signal handler thread.
On Linux, SA_RESTART is disabled by default. This probably effects
other BSDs but I don’t have the ability to test it there right now.
readDerivation is pretty slow, and while it may not be significant for
some use cases, on things like ghc-nix where we have thousands of
derivations is really slows things down.
So, this just doesn’t do the impure derivation check if the impure
derivation experimental feature is disabled. Perhaps we could cache
the result of isPure() and keep the check, but this is a quick fix to
for the slowdown introduced with impure derivations features in 2.8.0.
This matches the behavior of bash. We don’t want to add a space after
completion on attrs. Uses -S.
Switches to new compadd style comppletions instead of _describe.
Shouldn’t have any negative issues from what I can tell.
The darwin_stop_world implementation is slightly different. sp goes to
altstack_lo instead of lo in this case. Assuming that is an
implementation detail.
But the fix is the same, when we detect alstack_lo outside of the
expected stack range, we reset it to hi - stack_limit.
Here stack_limit is calculated with pthread_get_stacksize_np since
that is the BSD equivalent to pthread_attr_getstacksize.
A [recent-ish change](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6676) logs a warning when a potentially counterintuitive situation happens.
This now causes the multi-user installer to [emit a warning](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/189043) when it's doing
the "seed the Nix database" step via a low-level `nix-store --load-db` invocation.
`nix-store` functionality implementations don't actually use profiles or channels or homedir as far as i can tell. So why are we
hitting this code at all?
Well, the current command approach for functionality here builds a [fat `nix` binary](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/src/nix/local.mk#L23-L26) which has _all_ the functionality of
previous individual binaries (nix-env, nix-store, etc) bundled in, then [uses the invocation name](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/src/nix/main.cc#L274-L277) to select the
set of commands to expose. `nix` itself has this behavior, even when just trying to parse the (sub)command and arguments:
```
dave @ davembp2
$ nix
error: no subcommand specified
Try 'nix --help' for more information.
dave @ davembp2
$ sudo nix
warning: $HOME ('/Users/dave') is not owned by you, falling back to the one defined in the 'passwd' file
error: no subcommand specified
Try 'nix --help' for more information.
dave @ davembp2
$ HOME=~root sudo nix
error: no subcommand specified
Try 'nix --help' for more information.
```
This behavior can also be seen pretty easily with an arbitrary `nix-store` invocation:
```
dave @ davembp2
$ nix-store --realize
dave @ davembp2
$ sudo nix-store --realize # what installer is doing now
warning: $HOME ('/Users/dave') is not owned by you, falling back to the one defined in the 'passwd' file
dave @ davembp2
$ sudo HOME=~root nix-store --realize # what this PR effectively does
dave @ davembp2
$
```
this simplifies the setup a lot, and avoids weird looking `./file.md`
links showing up.
it also does not show regular URLs any more. currently the command
reference only has few of them, and not showing them in the offline
documentation is hopefully not a big deal.
instead of building more special-case solutions, clumsily preprocessing
the input, or issuing verbal rules on dealing with URLs, should better
be solved sustainably by not rendering relative links in `lowdown`:
