Robert Hensing 2196fd1146 libutil: Provide alternatives to startSignalHandlerThread
How signals should be handled depends on what kind of process Nix
is integrated into. The signal handler thread used by the stand-alone
Nix commands / processes may not work well in the context of other
runtime systems, such as those of Python, Perl, or Haskell.

Robert Hensing 781d3dceb3 Move initLibUtil() from initNix to initLibStore
libutil is a dependency of libstore, so it should always be
initialized as such.
libutil is also a dependency of libmain. Being explicit about this
dependency might be good, but not worth the slight code complexity
until the library structure gets more advanced.

Part of an effort to make it easier to initialize the right things,
by moving code into the appropriate libraries.

Robert Hensing 1107ea363f libmain: Clarify the lack of initLibExpr()
Quote

    Why not initLibExpr()? initGC() is essentially that, but
    detectStackOverflow is not an instance of the init function concept, as
    it may have to be invoked more than once per process.

Furthermore, renaming initGC to initLibExpr is more trouble than it's
worth at this time.

Robert Hensing 52d6ce6515 Move macOS TMPDIR hack from initNix to initLibStore
This code is bad. We shouldn't unset variables in programs whose
children may need them. Fixing one issue at a time, so postponing.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7731

Robert Hensing e706ffa007 Move preloadNSS() from initNix to initLibStore
It is required for the sandbox, which is a libstore responsibility;
not just libmain.

Robert Hensing 9693076715 Move initLibStore() immediately after initLibUtil()
Part of an effort to make it easier to initialize the right things,
by moving code into the appropriate libraries.

The goal of this reordering is to make initLibStore self-sufficient
in a following commit.

Robert Hensing a692c43729 Move loadConfFile() to initLibStore
Part of an effort to make it easier to initialize the right things,
by moving code into the appropriate libraries.

Using libstore without loading the config file is risky, as sqlite
may then be misconfigured. See https://github.com/cachix/cachix/issues/475

Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs (#8146)
* Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs

99% of this was just reformatting existing comments. Only two exceptions:

- Expanded upon `BuildResult::status` compat note

- Split up file-level `symbol-table.hh` doc comments to get
  per-definition docs

Also fixed a few whitespace goofs, turning leading tabs to spaces and
removing trailing spaces.

Picking up from #8133

* Fix two things from comments

* Use triple-backtick not indent for `dumpPath`

* Convert GNU-style `\`..'` quotes to markdown style in API docs

This will render correctly.

This function returns true or false depending on whether the Nix client
is trusted or not. Mostly relevant when speaking to a remote store with
a daemon.

Robert Hensing fba7be80eb Enable -Werror=switch-enum
switch statements must now match all enum values or disable the
warning.

Explicit is good. This has helped us find two bugs, after solving
another one by debugging.

From now on, adding to an enum will raise errors where they are
not explicitly handled, which is good for productivity, and helps
us decide the correct behavior in all usages.

Notably still excluded from this though are the cases where the
warning is disabled by local pragmas.

fromTOML.cc did not build despite a top-level pragma, so I've had
to resort to a makefile solution for that.

John Ericson 4a0b893d5e Stuctured command stability
Prior to this, there was an ad-hoc whitelist in `main.cc`. Now, every
command states its stability.

In a future PR, we will adjust the manual to take advantage of this new
information in the JSON.
(It will be easier to do that once we have some experimental feature
docs to link too; see #5930 and #7798.)

John Ericson 9383520b75 Move querySubstitutablePathInfos from LocalStore to Store
The code is not local-store-specific, so we should share it with all
stores. More uniform behavior is better, and a less store-specific
functionality is more maintainable.

This fixes a FIXME added in f73d911628 by @edolstra himself.

I think we want to ensure that all new items in headers are documented,
and the documentation on modified items is kept up to date.

It will take a while to document the backlog of undocumented things, but
we can at least ensure that new items don't extend that backlog.
