John Ericson 22b278e011 Automatically document builtin constants
This is done in roughly the same way builtin functions are documented.

Also auto-link experimental features for primops, subsuming PR #8371.

Any primop will do for this, so might as well use one that isn't impure.

nix flake check: improve error message if overlay is not a lambda (#8582)
* nix flake check: improve error message if overlay is not a lambda

Suppose you have an overlay like this

    {
      inputs = { /* ... */ };
      outputs = { flake-utils, ... }: flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem
        (system: {
          overlays.default = final: prev: {

          };
        });
    }

then `nix flake check` (correctly) fails because `overlays` are supposed
to have the structure `overlays.<name> = final: prev: exp`. However, the
error-message is a little bit counter-intuitive:

    error: overlay does not take an argument named 'final'

While one might guess where the error actually comes from because the
trace above says `… while checking the overlay 'overlays.x86_64-linux'`
this is still pretty confusing because it complains about an argument
not being named `final` even though that's evidently the case.

With this change, the error-message actually makes it clear what's
wrong:

    [ma27@carsten:~/Projects/nix/tmp]$ nix flake check --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' path:$(pwd)
    error:
           … while checking flake output 'overlays'

             at /nix/store/clgblnxx003hyrq8qkz5ab6kgqkck6qc-source/flake.nix:4:5:

                3|   outputs = { ... }: {
                4|     overlays.x86_64-linux.snens = final: prev: {
                 |     ^
                5|       kek = throw "snens";

           … while checking the overlay 'overlays.x86_64-linux'

             at /nix/store/clgblnxx003hyrq8qkz5ab6kgqkck6qc-source/flake.nix:4:5:

                3|   outputs = { ... }: {
                4|     overlays.x86_64-linux.snens = final: prev: {
                 |     ^
                5|       kek = throw "snens";

           error: overlay is not a lambda, but a set instead

John Ericson 484290a9e0 Use a struct not std::pair for SearchPathElem
I got very confused trying to keep all the `first` and `second` straight
reading the code, *especially* as there is also another `(boolean,
string)` pair type also being used.

Named fields is much better.

There are other cleanups that we can do (for example, the existing
TODO), but we can do them later. Doing them now would just make this
harder to review.

- Make note in tests so the magic numbers are not surprising

Support opening local store with database on read-only filesystem (#8356)
Previously it was not possible to open a local store when its database is on a read-only filesystem. Obviously a store on a read-only filesystem cannot be modified, but it would still be useful to be able to query it.

This change adds a new read-only setting to LocalStore. When set to true, Nix will skip operations that fail when the database is on a read-only filesystem (acquiring big-lock, schema migration, etc), and the store database will be opened in immutable mode.

The bug fix in 6d30f9e6fe erroneously

Fixes #8551.

Travis A. Everett 33d3889831 redirect old platform uninstall instruction links
Uninstall instructions were moved to their own page in #8267. The
overall section link was redirected in #8286, but platform-specific
links (which I give out frequently when I triage installer trouble)
weren't included.

John Ericson 9f69b7dee9 Create worker_proto::{Read,Write}Conn
Pass this around instead of `Source &` and `Sink &` directly. This will
give us something to put the protocol version on once the time comes.

To do this ergonomically, we need to expose `RemoteStore::Connection`,
so do that too. Give it some more API docs while we are at it.
