Having a colon in the path may cause issues, and having the hash
function indicated isn't actually necessary. We now verify the path
format in the tests to prevent regressions.
Before, we would get:

error: invalid file name 'closure-init-0' in 'exportReferencesGraph'
This was tough to debug, I didn't figure out which one was broken until I did:
nix-store -r /nix/store/grfnl76cahwls0igd2by2pqv0dimi8h2-nixos-system-eris-19.09.20191213.03f3def.drv 2>&1 | grep nix/store | xargs -n1 nix-store -r
and then looking at the remaining build graph:
$ nix-store -r /nix/store/grfnl76cahwls0igd2by2pqv0dimi8h2-nixos-system-eris-19.09.20191213.03f3def.drv
these derivations will be built:

error: invalid file name 'closure-init-0' in 'exportReferencesGraph'
and knowing the initrd build is before the system, then:
$ nix show-derivation /nix/store/3ka4ihvwh6wsyhpd2qa9f59506mnxvx1-initrd-linux-4.19.88.drv
{
"/nix/store/3ka4ihvwh6wsyhpd2qa9f59506mnxvx1-initrd-linux-4.19.88.drv": {

"exportReferencesGraph": "closure-init-0 /nix/store/...-stage-1-init.sh closure-mdadm.conf-1 /nix/store/...-mdadm.conf closure-ubuntu.conf-2 ...",
[...]
}
}
I then searched the repo for "in 'exportReferencesGraph'", found this
recently updated regex, and realized it was missing a "-".

I've seen complaints that "sandbox" caused problems under WSL but I'm
having no problems. I think recent changes could have fixed the issue.
This allows overriding the priority of substituters, e.g.
$ nix-store --store ~/my-nix/ -r /nix/store/df3m4da96d84ljzxx4mygfshm1p0r2n3-geeqie-1.4 \
--substituters 'http://cache.nixos.org?priority=100 daemon?priority=10'
Fixes#3264.
There is no termination condition for evaluation of cyclical
expression paths which can lead to infinite loops. This addresses
one spot in the parser in a similar fashion as utils.cc/canonPath
does.
This issue can be reproduced by something like:
```
ln -s a b
ln -s b a
nix-instantiate -E 'import ./a'
```
If the `throw` is reached, this means that execvp into `ssh` wasn’t
successful. We can hint at a usual problem, which is a missing `ssh`
executable.
Test with:
```
env PATH= ./result/bin/nix-copy-closure --builders '' unusedhost
```
and the bash version with
```
env PATH= ./result/bin/nix-copy-closure --builders '' localhost
```
Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which
is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures
that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like
<store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like
buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path
by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix.
Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves
some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a
helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop()
function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics:
after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function
on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original
value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the
value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types.
Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern
(e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).
The FunctionCallTrace object consumes a few hundred bytes of stack
space, even when tracing is disabled. This was causing stack overflows:
$ nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs> -A texlive.combined.scheme-full --dry-run
error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion)
This is with the default stack size of 8 MiB.
Putting the object on the heap reduces stack usage to < 5 MiB.

Seems that on i686-linux, gcc and rustc disagree on how to return
1-word structs: gcc has the caller pass a pointer to the result, while
rustc has the callee return the result in a register. Work around this
by using a bare pointer.
This replaces the '(...)' installable syntax, which is not very
discoverable. The downside is that you can't have multiple expressions
or mix expressions and other installables.
Also, fetchGit now runs in O(1) memory since we pipe the output of
'git archive' directly into unpackTarball() (rather than first reading
it all into memory).
We can now convert Rust Errors to C++ exceptions. At the Rust->C++ FFI
boundary, Result<T, Error> will cause Error to be converted to and
thrown as a C++ exception.
E.g.
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello --experimental-features no-url-literals
error: URL literals are disabled, at /nix/store/vsjamkzh15r3c779q2711az826hqgvzr-nixpkgs-20.03pre194957.bef773ed53f/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix:1236:11
Helps with implementing https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/45.
A corrupt entry in .links prevents adding a fixed version of that file
to the store in any path. The user experience is that corruption
present in the store 'spreads' to new paths added to the store:
(With store optimisation enabled)
1. A file in the store gets corrupted somehow (eg: filesystem bug).
2. The user tries to add a thing to the store which contains a good copy
of the corrupted file.
3. The file being added to the store is hashed, found to match the bad
.links entry, and is replaced by a link to the bad .links entry.
(The .links entry's hash is not verified during add -- this would
impose a substantial performance burden.)
4. The user observes that the thing in the store that is supposed to be
a copy of what they were trying to add is not a correct copy -- some
files have different contents! Running "nix-store --verify
--check-contents --repair" does not fix the problem.
This change makes "nix-store --verify --check-contents --repair" fix
this problem. Bad .links entries are simply removed, allowing future
attempts to insert a good copy of the file to succeed.
This doesn't work anymore since `packages` was removed from the
`nixpkgs`-fork with flake support[1], now it's only possible to refer to
pkgs via `legacyPackages`.
